Seven & I Holdings Abandons Investment Talks with Poland’s Largest Convenience Store Chain
Seven & I Holdings, parent company of 7-Eleven, has decided not to proceed with an investment in what was identified as Poland's largest convenience store chain. The decision follows unsuccessful negotiations that could not align with the interests of its shareholders and stakeholders. While Seven & I did not name the specific retailer involved, Zabka is widely recognized as the leading c-store operator in Poland. The company emphasized that Europe remains a strategic growth region for it but noted that suitable opportunities must meet long-term value criteria. 7-Eleven currently has no presence in Poland and operates primarily in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden within Europe.
