The new store officially opened Saturday, Oct. 9 in Mumbai, one of the world's richest cities and India's financial and economic center, according to a press release.
"At Reliance, we pride ourselves on offering up the best to our customers and we are proud to bring 7-Eleven, the globally trusted convenience store, to India," Director of Reliance Ventures Limited, Isha Ambani said, "Seven-Eleven is among the most iconic global brands in the convenience retail landscape. The new pathways we build together with 7-Eleven will offer Indian customers greater convenience and choices within their own neighborhoods."
