Stephen Hayes Dacus, the first foreign-born president of 7-Eleven, has expressed confidence in the Japanese convenience store chain's ability to weather economic headwinds and continue attracting budget-conscious customers.
Dacus, an American with Japanese heritage, declined to comment on specific investment plans currently under consideration, including a potential acquisition by Canada's Alimentation Couche-Tard. He emphasized that a dedicated company committee, of which he is not a member, is conducting an objective review of all options.
