First stores expected this year
7-Eleven, the world’s largest convenience retailer, announced that it has signed a master franchise agreement with Future Retail to begin operations in the country. The deal looks set to benefit both parties as the Future Group gains access to global technology and processes while 7-Eleven will leverage on the retail experience and local knowledge of Future Retail.
It remains unclear how 7-Eleven will coexist with the 1,300 Easyday stores that Future Retail currently operates. The group has already stated that it will rebrand some of its existing stores.
