Irving-based 7-Eleven International has completed its A$1.71 billion ($1.11 billion U.S.) acquisition of 7-Eleven Australia convenience stores in a deal the companies agreed to in November.
With the closing, 7-Eleven International adds more than 750 stores in Australia to its portfolio.
“We’re thrilled to become one team and create stronger synergy with 7-Eleven Australia,” Ken Wakabayashi, president and CEO of 7-Eleven International, said in a statement. “For nearly 50 years, the 7-Eleven Australia team has built the legacy of the brand as a top choice for convenience. Together, we can enhance customer experience in the store.”
The companies identified opportunities to transform 7-Eleven Australia’s merchandise and fuel offer, expand product assortment, and introduce new high-quality fresh foods.
“It’s about continuing to grow our store network in Australia and providing unrivaled customer experiences and quality products,” said Angus McKay, 7-Eleven Australia CEO and Managing Director. “My team and I are looking forward to taking advantage of 7-Eleven International’s deep experience in convenience retailing with the leadership of Executive Chairman Shin Abe.”
