7-Eleven, a convenience store retailer owned by Seven & i Holdings, is planning to expand its operations with new formats and own label products. The company aims to open up to 500 new stores in the next three years, focusing on its "New Standard" format that includes in-store restaurants and premium products. This expansion plan comes as the parent company tries to fend off a $47 billion takeover bid from Couche Tard.
