But now, the world’s largest convenience store chain is trying to bring a similar range of food items to its U.S. stores, and market them to customers who associate the brand with Slurpees and pizza. American 7-Elevens are working on mimicking the Japanese distribution centers by upgrading their commissaries around the country.

As much as I'd like to say this won't work because of (demographics), isn't a big reason konbinis in Japan work because its a much more densely populated country? The US is a car-based infrastructure, people drive to Costco or Walmart for food, they don't walk to their nearest 7-11It could feasibly work in larger cities where people commute, but even then I don't trust burgerclap wagies to keep it as nice and clean, and I don't trust (them) with not cutting every corner possible on the foodWhich is a shame, I'd love to be able to find a Japan-level quality Konbini everywhere on the globe
>>199255007You're right, it will fail in the US. Why drive to the 7-11 when you can instead drive to McDonalds or whatever your favorite slop store is?
>>199255007It takes 15 minutes by bicycle to get to the nearest 7-11 from my house
>>199255007>>199256696People already buy the garbage food at 711 here all the time. Also, a lot of 711s here are gas stations so people drive to them in their cars. If anything, it will increase sales if it's priced cheaper than fast food.
It's about time.It's a travesty how much better 7-11s are in Japan compared to America.
>>199254803we have giga-gas stations now that provide both roles
