RIP Toshifumi Suzuki
-
Empire builder. Of 7-Eleven.
Suzuki, an honorary adviser at Seven & i Holdings, died on May 18 of heart failure at his Tokyo home, the company said Monday.
Suzuki founded the Japanese unit that operates the seemingly ubiquitous 7-Eleven “conbini” outlets, where busy people can hop in and grab sandwiches, rice balls, drinks, chips and other meals on-the-run, use ATMs, pay utility bills and copy documents.
The 7-Eleven stores, now numbering more than 80,000 worldwide, are the biggest convenience-store chain in Japan.
