7-Eleven to open convenience stores in Vietnam

As planned, the group will sign a cooperative deal with a Vietnamese partner to open the first store in 2017.

Stores in Vietnam will be managed by Japanese staff. The first 7-Eleven convenience store will be opened in HCM City.

Seven & I Holdings aims to develop around 100 stores in the next three years and to 1,000 stores after 10 years penetrating the Vietnamese market.

In the initial period, the Group will send 4 Japanese staff to transfer Japanese trading methods to their Vietnamese colleagues and develop the stores’ specialities.
