Seven & i Holdings Co., Ltd. (OTCMKTS: SVNDY) is a Tokyo-based diversified retail holding company operating convenience stores, supermarkets, department stores, specialty outlets and financial services across domestic and international markets. The group’s flagship convenience store chain, 7-Eleven, stands as one of the world’s largest convenience retailers, offering a wide range of everyday consumer goods, ready-to-eat meals, fuel services and other essentials in Japan, North America, parts of Europe and Asia.
Tracing its origins to the founding of Ito-Yokado in 1920 and the launch of Seven-Eleven Japan in 1974, Seven & i Holdings was established in 2005 through the integration of Ito-Yokado, Seven-Eleven Japan and Sogo & Seibu. This strategic merger created a unified holding structure designed to enhance operational synergies in merchandising, supply chain and store management. Over the years, the company has pursued targeted acquisitions—most notably the 2020 purchase of Speedway LLC in the United States—to strengthen its footprint in the North American convenience market and broaden its global reach.
Beyond retailing, Seven & i has developed a robust financial services division offering credit cards, consumer finance products and banking solutions via its subsidiary Seven Bank, which operates ATMs in store locations and through digital channels. The group also oversees specialty brands including Denny’s Japan and engages in business-to-business foodservice and wholesale operations. Headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Seven & i Holdings is guided by a board of directors and senior management team dedicated to innovation, sustainability and digital transformation to support long-term growth in a dynamic retail environment.
