Laos welcomes first 7-Eleven store

The retailer has entered its 20th country by establishing a location in the country’s capital in partnership with CP ALL Laos.

CP ALL Laos, a Master Franchisee of 7-Eleven International, has opened its first 7-Eleven store in Laos, located in the country’s capital, Vientiane. With this new opening, the Japanese retail brand is now present across 20 countries worldwide.

The store features the brand’s signature retail environment and serves a variety of internationally-popular products and beverages – including bean-to-cup coffee, Slurpee drinks and Big Gulp drinks. Customers can enjoy hamburgers, toasted sandwiches, and freshly baked bread.

"Our entrance into the country brings Laotian customers a one-stop-shop solution with quality fresh food and convenience needs, via a store format not currently prevalent in the market. The store opening in Laos marks the 20th country and region for 7-Eleven. We are excited to continue to provide citizens and tourists alike with world-class convenience," said Shin Abe and Ken Wakabayashi, Co-CEOs at 7-Eleven International.

CP ALL Laos is a subsidiary of CP All Public Company Limited, which operates more than 14,000 7-Eleven stores in Thailand and Cambodia as one of the largest licensees of the brand. The company plans to expand stores throughout the country, starting with the Vientiane metropolitan area.
