"“I would have been interested in buying 7-Eleven,” Bouchard acknowledges. He even flew to Tokyo to meet with the CEO of the group, in the hopes that he would agree to sell the American portion of his empire, which had more than 20,000 stores around the world. “But the Japanese aren’t sellers,” he discovered. He would have to take them on in a different way, and using patience."
