Business Description
Seven & i Holdings runs 7-Eleven in Japan, the country's largest convenience-store network, and owns 7-Eleven, Inc. in North America, whose scale roughly doubled with the 2021 purchase of the Speedway fuel-and-convenience chain from Marathon Petroleum. Recent years have been spent shedding everything else: the Sogo & Seibu department stores were sold in 2023, Seven Bank was separated in June 2025, and the superstore business — Ito-Yokado and its sister chains — was spun off under York Holdings in September 2025. An unsolicited takeover approach from Canada's Alimentation Couche-Tard sharpened the pressure to simplify.
The revenue split is easy to misread and repays a careful look: overseas convenience stores account for roughly 82% of group revenue and the domestic convenience business for only about 9%, yet Japan contributes a far larger share of operating profit. The reason is accounting rather than performance. Most Japanese 7-Eleven stores are franchised, so the company books its franchise royalties rather than the stores' full sales, while North American stores are largely company-operated and their entire turnover, fuel included, passes through revenue. North American earnings therefore turn on fuel margins and on merchandise sales per store, both more volatile than the steady royalty stream at home. The holding company was created in 2005 and closes its fiscal year at the end of February.
