TOKYO, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Japanese convenience store giant Seven & i Holdings' 3382.T planned listing of its North American operations would provide additional debt capacity for more aggressive growth than currently planned, its chief executive said on Wednesday.

The listing, billed for the second half of 2026, would allow for faster store rollouts in the U.S. and additional bolt-on M&As, CEO Stephen Dacus said at a strategy briefing for analysts and media in Tokyo.
