7-Ilevan’s soon-to-be chief is confident that he knows the value, and frugal customers

Tokyo: The first foreigner tapped on the head 7 Eleven On Friday, the Japanese convenience store chain expressed confidence on Friday will continue to attract frugal customers in an economic recession.
But Stephen Hayes DacusAn American with a Japanese mother, now refused to comment on the nuances of various investment schemes being studied, including the acquisition proposal by Canada’s Elementation Couch-Tard.
A special company committee, which is not part, is accused of studying options “completely fairly”, he said.
“The process is moving very creatively,” Dacus, who is currently a director, explained a small group of reporters at the Tokyo headquarters of the Consumption and I Holdings Company, who operates the 7-Ilevan.
His appointment as the Chief Executive still requires the approval of the shareholders prescribed for May. The last year has increased by seven and I have increased by more than 2%.
Dacoas, a fluent in Japanese and English, stated that he was firm to build a culture of leadership, which he learned to praise with his experience working in Walmart, Uniclow and other retailers.
“If you are not humble, you are not listening to your customers. You are not learning. But if you are not aggressive, you’re going to defeat by your rivals,” he said.
Dacus insisted that the 7-Ilevan series was growing globally. But the store was different by the nation, and their intention was not to duplicate the Japanese-style everywhere “”Conbini“As they know here.
For example, low costs can be given with a better supply chain, for example, taking advantage of the global access of the series, while a cheaper recipe for a food item will only remove customers, Dacus said.
“This business in Japan is built on innovation,” he said.
Announcing commenting on the policies of US President Donald Trump, he admitted that the buyers would probably tighten the wire of their purse in the recession.
The answer is the first choice where they shop, Dacus said, seeing that his mother and Japanese relatives noticed that they never ruined anything. They used to wrap the remaining dinner rolls in the restaurant in paper to take home, he remembered.
“If you want to talk to some hard customers, you talk to my aunt,” he said.
“Japanese customers are demanding incredibly. This is something that actually resonates with me. And it makes a way to think about retail.
