Mauricio Leyva, who became CEO of 7-Eleven’s North America unit in August, plans to modernize stores, expand private-label foods and grow the 7NOW delivery platform by copying Japan’s emphasis on detail and quality. [1] [2]

Seven & i Holdings reported strong overseas profit in its second-quarter results, helped by higher gasoline prices in North America, but Leyva noted falling basket sizes amid inflation. [2]

The parent company also updated its plan to list 7-Eleven by fiscal 2027 at the earliest, aiming to raise valuation and fend off takeovers after a $47 billion bid by Alimentation Couche-Tard was withdrawn. [1] [2]
