The move by 7-Eleven will be seen as a nascent but integral part of an expanding online retail eco-system that is beginning to grow in popularity in Malaysia. “An online shopper can choose to get his purchases delivered to a 7-Eleven store most convenient to him. The convenience store chain is controlled by Tan Sri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun, with an indirect stake of 53.59% via HQZ Credit Sdn Bhd. It also offers mobile top-up services and payment of utility bills 24x7 and recently introduced sitting arrangement for that cup of coffee. Malaysians like malls, so they have a role to play, despite the growth in online retail,” he says.
