Company News
The Japanese owner of 7-Eleven convenience stores has agreed to buy Marathon Petroleum Corp’s (MPC.N) Speedway gas stations for $21 billion, brushing aside coronavirus concerns to return to the table five months after initially baulking at the deal.
The acquisition is one of the biggest this year, suggesting the pandemic, while forcing many companies to focus on protecting balance sheets instead of expansion, has not killed off global dealmaking altogether.
The move will help Seven & i Holdings Co Ltd (3382.T) shift focus beyond Japan, where its stores and supermarkets face a shrinking population, slow economic growth and tough price competition.
The deal boosts its 7-Eleven store count in the United States and Canada to about 14,000, adding to a portfolio fattened three years ago with a $3.3 billion purchase from Sunoco LP (SUN.N) – furthering its convenience store lead over Canada’s Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc (ATDb.TO).
