Canada's Alimentation Couche-Tard wants to buy 7-Eleven's Japanese owner and its over 85,000 outlets
Briefly

This potential merger of Alimentation Couche-Tard and Seven & i Holdings Co. would create the top global operator with roughly 100,000 convenience stores, presenting a significant shift in the sector.
Amir Anvarzadeh, a strategist, pointed out that despite the appeal of a higher bid, controlling factors would vary depending on the resistance from Seven & i's management team.
