Seven & i Holdings walks away from talks to invest in Poland's Żabka
Seven & i Holdings has ended talks about investing in a European convenience-store operator just eight days after first disclosing them — a quiet reversal that says as much about the group's post-takeover caution as about the deal itself.
Seven & i Holdings, the Tokyo-listed parent of 7-Eleven, disclosed on 25 July that it had concluded discussions over a potential investment in a European convenience-store company, without proceeding with a deal, according to the company's own investor-relations notice.
