Adding to its burgeoning retail empire, billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Retail will bring 7-Eleven convenience stores to India, days after Future Retail ended its deal with the US chain.
The first 7-Eleven store will open in Mumbai on October 9 and will be followed by a further “rapid rollout”, Reliance Retail said in a statement, without providing financial details. 7-Eleven will add to the expansion spree of Reliance, which already has around 13,000 stores across the country. “The 7-Eleven stores aim to provide shoppers with a unique style of convenience, offering a range of beverages, snacks and delicacies specifically curated to appeal to local tastes, along with a refill of daily essentials, having affordability and hygiene at its very core,” said RRVL.
