HANOI -- 7-Eleven recently opened its first location in Hanoi, marking the first Japanese-linked convenience store to be established in Vietnam's capital.

The 7-Eleven is located in Hanoi's Old Quarter, a neighborhood popular with tourists. Many customers came to the store when it opened on Friday, and the staff had to limit entry at times to avoid overcrowding.
