Japanese retail giant Seven & i Holdings is in the final stages of talks to take a stake in Polish convenience store operator Zabka Group, according to the Nikkei business daily.
The size of the investment will likely amount to several hundred billion yen (several billion dollars), the newspaper said.
Seven & i operates 7-Eleven stores worldwide, with Japan and the U.S. its largest markets.
The company has been under pressure from investors for years over lacklustre returns and faced calls for it to focus on its core convenience store business.
