Seven & i, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, ranked No. 8 on the list, with total company revenue of $90 billion in 2024. The global c-store chain operated 41,128 stores and earned 100 ranking points.

To make it on the list, companies also must operate as a good-for-consumer resale operation in at least three countries. At least one of the three countries must not be adjacent to the country where the company is headquartered.
