President Chain Store Corporation has announced that the company has formally received the franchise rights of 7-Eleven convenience stores in Shanghai and the first store in the city will be opened before the end of 2008.
According to a representative from President Chain Store, the company began the negotiation about the franchise rights of 7-Eleven in mainland China ten years ago. It is definitely good news for the company to finally get the authorization.

The franchise rights of the brand in Beijing belongs to the joint venture of Ito Yokado and the franchise rights in Guangzhou and Shenzhen belongs to Hong Kong Dairy Farm Group.
