“7-Eleven is continuing its accelerated growth, and this acquisition helps us meet the ambitious goals we have set,” said Robbie Radant, the retailer’s vice president of mergers and acquisitions, said today (14 June). “We met our goal of opening more than 600 stores in the U.S. and Canada last year, and are on target to surpass that number in 2012 and reach our goal of 630.”
Last month, 7-Eleven, the US subsidiary of Japanese retailer Seven & I Holdings, said it would increase its network by 630 stores this year.
In January, 7-Eleven acquired 55 stores from local rival Sam’s Mart in North Carolina, which saw it return to the city of Charlotte for the first time since 1988.
