EXCLUSIVE: 7-Eleven's attempts to launch stores in the UK hits the rocks once again following talks with at least one major wholesaler and a supermarket. Analysts have long been calling for a 'pure convenience' model like 7-Eleven's to arrive in the UK, stating that it could cut through the dense UK convenience landscape. Appears 7&i disagreed though, allegedly stating the market was 'too saturated'. 7-Eleven first started scouting around for a UK master franchisee late last year as part of its plan to launch in 10 new markets by 2030, with the UK even name-checked in one of its notes on the plans. More European markets were described as a 'high priority' at the time. While I'm not convinced that the 'pure convenience' model widespread in other nations is the answer to all of the sector's recent woes (look at the Kantar stats), I do believe a player like 7-Eleven arriving would have kickstarted a wave of innovation in the market towards this model. https://lnkd.in/eqCFj_Vm Better Retailing Newtrade Media 7-Eleven Bestway Wholesale Morrisons Bulk Purchase David Gilroy Bryan Roberts Mike Igoe #RetailNews
