Seven & i Evaluates Sale of Specialty Stores Owned by York Holdings

Seven & i Holdings Co. is reportedly evaluating the potential sale of its specialty store operations, which fall outside the main business areas under York Holdings. These operations encompass various businesses including supermarkets, restaurants, and other assets.

According to Kyodo, if the company decides to sell these operations, the sale will likely be conducted independently of the ongoing bidding process for York Holdings shares.

The specialty store segment under assessment includes businesses offering various products and baby items. Should this move be confirmed, it would signal Seven & i Holdings' strategy to streamline operations and focus on its core business segments.
