7-ELEVEn Japan
7-Eleven, which has more than 60,000 convenience stores around the world, was first born in Dallas, USA, and was founded by the American Southern Company. At present, there are nearly 20,000 7-Eleven stores in Japan and more than 2,000 stores in China, including Hong Kong and Macau. Japanese convenience stores usually keep introducing attractive in-house fresh food products to boost sales, and 7-Eleven is the most prominent example of this. After Japan's consumption tax hike, 7-Eleven's store profits still hit a new high for 32 consecutive months. Generally speaking, the sales of fresh food products will account for one-third of the total sales, and sometimes even reach 50%, which makes Japanese convenience stores pay great attention to the development and launch of fresh food products, and the annual replacement rate of 7-Eleven products is as high as 70%. In addition, 7-11 has a wide range of radiation in China, and many first- and second-tier cities can see 7-11 signboards on the streets, which is the most Japanese-style convenience store covering the city, and there may be a 24-hour 7-11 with a signboard on the way to and from work or near the company.
