Japan-based Seven & i Holdings, owner of the iconic global chain of 7-Eleven convenience stores, is at the center of an intensifying bidding war, multiple outlets reported.
The 7-Eleven chain was founded in 1927 in Dallas, per The Journal.
It was originally called the Southland Ice Company but was rebranded in 1946 to be called 7-Eleven based on its hours of operation.
Representatives for Alimentation Couche-Tard and 7-Eleven did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.
