carlsongary+FollowWhy Japan Said Nope to a $46B TakeoverSo, Couche-Tard (the folks behind Circle-K) tried to buy Japan’s Seven-Eleven for a whopping $46 billion, but Japan wasn’t having it.

In the end, Couche-Tard backed out, their stock jumped, and Seven-Eleven is now hustling to keep its edge. Lesson: Not every mega-deal is a slam dunk, especially when it messes with people’s daily routines! #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailDrama50Share
