English Español Thailand’s CP ALL to introduce 7-Eleven in Laos

With the addition of Laos, CP ALL will hold 7‑Eleven licensing agreements in two adjacent Asian countries. Laos will be the 20th country hosting 7‑Eleven stores.



Last update:

7‑Eleven, Inc., the world's largest convenience retailer, has signed a master franchise agreement with CP ALL LAOS CO., LTD, a company under CP ALL Public Company Limited, to develop and operate 7‑Eleven stores in Laos. The first 7‑Eleven-branded convenience store in Laos is expected to be open in Vientiane, the capital city.

With the addition of Laos, CP ALL now holds licensing agreements to operate 7‑Eleven stores in two adjacent Asian countries. CP ALL has had a 7‑Eleven licensing agreement in its home country of Thailand for more than 30 years and signed a master franchise agreement for Cambodia earlier this year.

"With its remarkable success in Thailand, I can think of no one better than CP ALL to bring the 7‑Eleven brand to consumers in Laos," said 7‑Eleven, Inc. President and CEO Joe DePinto. "This relationship promises to bring additional jobs and economic opportunities throughout region."

In 1988, CP ALL was established to operate 7‑Eleven stores in Thailand under an exclusive licensing agreement with 7‑Eleven, Inc. The first Thailand 7‑Eleven store opened in Bangkok in 1989, and CP ALL now operates more than 12,000 stores in the country, second only to Japan in the world.

Laos will be the 20th country where 7‑Eleven stores will operate soon. Based in Irving, Texas, 7–Eleven operates, franchises and/or licenses more than 71,100 stores, including 11,800 in North America.
