0.5Convenience
Convenience store chain, wholly owned by Japan's Seven & i Holdings since 2005. All 7-Eleven locations in Canada (~700+) are corporate-operated -- the company has only recently begun considering introducing franchising to Canada, which would be a departure from its historical all-corporate Canadian model.

Japanese; wholly owned by Seven & i Holdings Co. (Tokyo) since taking full ownership in 2005. Alimentation Couche-Tard's 2024-2025 takeover bid for Seven & i was withdrawn in July 2025, so ownership remains unchanged.
