In Japan, convenience stores are celebrated.
Millions flock to the stores daily to pick up food, send packages and pay bills.
Japan’s largest konbini chain, 7-Eleven, is also its most famous.
It is understandable that a rival company wants in on the action.
This week, Seven & i Holdings, the Japanese company that operates 7-Eleven, said it had received an unsolicited takeover proposal from Alimentation Couche-Tard, a convenience store giant in Canada.
