Seven & I Holdings Co., Ltd. is a Japanese diversified retail holdings company headquartered in Nibanchō, Chiyoda, Tokyo. On September 1, 2005, it was established as a result of the integration of three companies: Ito-Yokado, Seven-Eleven Japan, and Denny's Japan. The purpose of this establishment was to create a holding company that would own these three companies. The background behind this decision was that the parent company, Ito-Yokado, was facing deteriorating performance, while its subsidiary, Seven-Eleven Japan, was experiencing growth in both sales and profits and was performing well. Following a downturn in the performance of its supermarket operations, on September 1, 2025, the company spun off including Ito-Yokado, Denny's Japan, and Loft, into an intermediate holding company named York Holdings, transferring it to the U.S. investment fund Bain Capital.
