Seven & I Holdings targets Europe for global expansion

Seven & I Holdings is targeting Europe as its next major pillar for global growth. Following an exit from the Indian market, where all 31 stores closed due to intense local competition, the company aims to expand its European presence beyond its current concentration in the Nordic region.

President and CEO Steve Dacus identified Europe as a key growth area alongside Japan, North America, and Asia. While the company explores potential returns to Asian markets like Indonesia, North America remains a central focus, with plans to open 1,300 new stores and remodel over 7,000 existing locations by 2030.
