>>20700228
Don't hold your breath. America couldn't even produce proper Strong Zero, a single konbini product, because of their weird cult laws. And now, trying to renovate an entire chain known only for selling garbage? It's either an insurance scam, a money-laundering op, or pure unadulterated hubris. More power to to them, if the samurai can start by evicting the abusive panhandlers living in the doorway at our 7-Eleven, but they can't even do that in Roppongi.

>>20700123
Simply not realistic for most American locations unless they have security as well.

Don't make sandwiches or rice balls that require ingredients made in Japan.
7-Eleven Japan's gold series could be replicated in the US
The reason is that many of the ingredients in the gold series are imported and not made in Japan.

>>20700123
If I want fresh food from a convenience store I've already got Wawa Royal Farms and Sheetz near me can Jap style 7/11s really compete with that?

Can't they just sell Japanese instant ramen as is?
Would MSG, etc. be caught by the law?

>>20700414
I think we should sell only processed foods that last a long time and can be prepared using only hot water or a microwave.

>>20700123
I don't get it, most convenience stores already have fresh food

>>20700492
The "fresh" food at 7-11 here is garbage though. But it doesn't really matter because the Japanese model is based on people randomly walking by and picking up some food which works with all the foot traffic they have. Here it's all gas station locations and it's mostly just ghetto nigs and Mexican gardeners or other workers that ever stop by. They don't care about quality food.

>>20700420
There's some weird law about anything containing meat or dairy that was implemented in the '00s and stopped the import of most normal Japanese ramen. I'm old enough that I got into Japanese food in the early '00s and I remember a time when you could get instant ramen that had actual vacuum-packed chashu in it, UFO yakisoba with dehydrated pork, Japanese beef jerky, etc. at Japanese supermarkets but that all stopped with whatever the bullshit tradewar thing was. I think the law is no longer in effect but things haven't gone back to how they were.

>>20700218
There probably won't be much action on the part of those Indians, it'll just be a change in whatever pre-packed food is on the shelves in the stores.

>>20700400
fwiw it actually IS doable in the US. Family Mart tried in the '00s, had a small number of stores in the LA area branded as "FAMIMA!" and when they first opened they had a pretty much identical selection to what you'd find in Japan and it was good, sadly it didn't really catch on and they gradually shifted away from Japanese stuff toward more normal "premium" western sandwiches etc. (though they did still have curry pan and some sushi/bentos) and then eventually closed all their stores by 2015. It was a real shame too, I worked near one of the first stores when it opened and it was awesome being able to get decent cheap Japanese stuff.

>>20700594
>sadly it didn't really catch on
Sad. Why does this typically happen? Normalfag retard NPCs thinking the food is weird or icky or something?

>>20700607
I think the idea that packaged convenience store food could be anything other than garbage slop is pretty alien to Americans, and was even moreso 15+ years ago before Starbucks etc. started selling semi-decent packaged stuff. They also chose weird locations without much foot traffic (honestly, choosing LA as the test market was a mistake in itself, SF, Seattle, or NYC probably would've made more sense) and didn't really market themselves well. The result was that the only people who really patronized their stores were weebs like me or people who happened to live or work right by one, and that wasn't really enough.

The main issue is, even if you got the top tier 7/11s that Japan has, even those Japanese stores are outdone in food quality, variety and store upkeep by the domestic offerings like Buc-ees, Wawa and Sheetz, all of which already adapt to local palate. Something like 7/11 that operates mostly on prepared will not be able to match, and even then that’s if the USA 7/11s had the Japanese worker and franchise quality which they don’t, they have shitty Indians
CEO isn’t wrong but he doesn’t get why it won’t work. The whole franchise system would need to be broken up and the brand started anew to get the quality standards to match the top brands. It’s not like Japan where everyone is loyal to 7/11, Familymart and Lawson, some are loyal to local brands or otherwise you need to match up or die, and 7/11 can’t until they fix who is running them

People are saying the problem with this idea is the nigger "undocumented customers." The problem is the nigger employees. They are not going to be able to change out inventory regularly enough to keep only fresh food on the shelves.

>>20700218
I have to agree, the 7/11 by my work is in a nice area and not some urban shithole, but the people running the store can't even handle chili cheese dogs. Either no buns in the warmer, no dogs on the rollers, or the chili/cheese was out pretty much every time I tried to get one.

>Imported Japanese instant ramen
Apparently that law is still in effect today.
It seems that any food that contains beef, pork, or chicken as an ingredient is prohibited from being brought into the US.
However, some states allow it if the food is made only with chicken.

>>20700594
>Family Mart
Previously, Family Mart's side dishes weren't very good.
Perhaps it was the same in the U.S.
Besides, you can probably get Japanese products at Mitsuwa or H Mart.

On the other hand, 7-Eleven's side dishes have always been good.
And the newly started selling and becoming popular was the gold series
This has a lot of Japanese fans.
I think 7-Eleven USA should reproduce the gold series first.

It is guaranteed to fail in "urban" cities (>>20700214). But it should succeed in other areas where the community care levels are similar to Japan's levels.

>>20700128
Honestly, with all the social media eyeballs on this, having decent food would actually help them and it should drive engagement. And it's not like they are going to replace the slop - if the slop sells, it stays. They are just gonna be getting rid of the shit NO ONE ever buys in these stores (like laundry detergent). If they try onigiri and no one buys it, it will be replaced with a sub or some shit. They will rinse and repeat until the place operates better.

>>20700218
The Indians won't have to do shit. What Japan's management will do is inventory management - meaning they will watch what sells and doesn't, and replace the doesn't sell with what sells. So the local shop won't do shit except stock shelves with whatever management sends them.

And yes, the current 7/11 was NOT doing the above. They were that retarded. Articles on this have pointed out the current 7/11 in America just put shit out to put shit out, regardless of if it sold or not.

>>20700939
You can't employ Americans for the price they'll be paying who are willing to put the effort in to make it work. No one here has pride in their work (For good reason) so it's destined to fail.

>>20700958
>I've heard they hire a lot of foreigners
That's only in the center of a city with over a million people, or around a district with a large international student population.

This is the crux of the issue. Gas stations in America are for (not sorted by corporation profit)

1. Gas.

2. Degeneracy: Tobacco, Alcohol, Lottery Tickets, and... probably Energy Drinks I guess. Those probably outsell others on the list.

3. Fuel for landscaping equipment.

Food is a tiny bit, as even the lawnmower's designated English-ish speaking driver can just go to mcchacchos back door to get the fleet fueled up.

Sounds great until you remember who works at these places. Only works in Japan for a reason.

If there is ONE thing I wish more stores in my country had, it's the cheap printing service that all konbinis in Japan have. A single black-white page for 20 yen, 60 if colored?? Holy shit, please bring that to my country.

>>20701054
What are you doing day to day that requires printing but makes it not worth it to own a printer?

>>20700939
>won't do shit except stock shelves
yes, this is the problem. the people that work in these places in america are too lazy to even keep things on the shelves. practically every gas station i go to in america, tons of items are "out of stock" (sitting on racks in the refrigerators)

>>20701058
>>20701061

I live in Finland and finding a convenient place to print pages is pretty difficult.

I draw digitally and it's always difficult to tell from tablet screen how a screentone is going to actually look when printed. With the konbini printing service I can just print a single page for a test to see how it looks, and do adjustments afterwards if needed. I think I will get my own printer at some point.

My local 7-11 has been here for probably over 30 years. Standalone, not attached to anything like a gas station.
If this hits mine, I might actually walk over for lunch or a snack during work twice a week.
It's quick and easy to make an egg sandvich at home, but stuff like breaded chicken or onigiri could be worth the surcharge.

That's pretty bad, and makes this rebrand actually have some hope if it's essentially 80% logistics improvements.
In hindsight the 7-11s near me, the only stuff that really moves are the refrigerated drinks, coffee, and the freshest fresh food. Most of the isles are packed with super packaged stuff that has a shelf life of months if not years, all of which is very overpriced. Even the candy isle is basically the same.

>>20701192
What convenient things do you walk to the store for if not food or drink?

>>20701189
That won't be enough to keep the new business model running.

>>20700123
This isn't going to work. 7-Eleven has a strong reputation in America for what it is. The people going there are the people who want shitty gas station convenience store food and cigarettes, and they will not give a shit about good fresh food options. People who do care about good fresh food options don't go to 7-Eleven, and won't trust their fresh food even if they find themselves in one.
They need to do business under a new brand to give this the slightest chance of working.

they will have a rude awakening when they realize what kind of "clientele" they have in those neighbourhoods.

7-11 is obsolete, I haven’t had a reason to go to one in years. Gas stations are way ahead, all of the ones near me are renovating and putting in legitimately good fried chicken and pizza kitchens.

>>20701924
American 7/11's aren't also petrol stations by default? I guess the American one's are obsolete.

Japanese 7/11s are just mini grocery stores. That won't work here because most Americans have a car and thus aren't grocery shopping every 2-3 days like how its done in Japan where everyone walks. Minimarts already realised this decades ago, which is why milk and eggs there are more expensive; smaller economies of scale.

>>20701210
What do you think Japanese 7/11s are stuffed with? Aisles of instant ramen and fish chips (junk food), with the only difference being they also have some deli stuff like fruit/veg/dairy. The main difference is the culture involved, which just blindly importing the store layouts go the US isn't gonna change. Unless they can figure out how to solve the methheads behind the counter and the ESL Mexican landscapers holding up the line, nothing will change.

>>20700123

>Getting over the stigma of it being basically gas station food in america will take some serious work.
I fail to see why. I've only seen a single 7-11 attached to a gas station. Every other one has been a standalone convenience store for decades.

>>20703302
>What do you think Japanese 7/11s are stuffed with?
More fresh food. Better candy and snacks. You know, the night and day difference that everyone who has experienced a Japanese 7-11 knows is true?
