My friend is in Tokyo and will not stop talking about how he loves 7-Eleven stores there and how he goes at least once a day. After kidding him that he must be homesick for a slurpee, I asked him why? He went on how great the 7-Eleven shops are in Japan. He said the you would not believe their high quality food, convenience, and wide selection of items. He lost me at high quality food since I would never eat the hotdog in the rollers since they look so unappetizing. From his reporting and other varied sources, we found out that 7-Eleven stores in Japan are must visit destinations.
Food
Japanese 7-Eleven are known for their fresh, delicious food, including sushi, noodles, ramen, onigiri, karaage, egg sandwiches and an array of hot bar items. Some say the food is so good that you can get a top-notch dinner there. They also offer specialty coffee drinks and hot breakfasts. My friend mentioned that he has tried every single flavor of iced tea with some he liked more than others. The most amazing thing is the egg sandwiches are a must purchase item.
Convenience
7-Eleven are open 24/7, making them a convenient place to grab a quick bite to eat in Japan\’s fast-paced lifestyle. They also have approximately 21,000 7-Eleven stores in Japan which is more than double that of the US so they are everywhere.
Selection
7-Eleven stores offer a wide selection of items, including unique food items like dried squid, smoked squid, and chiki. 7-Eleven stores in Japan are also known for their supply chain strategy, which involves building responsiveness through rapid replenishment to match supply and demand.
7-Eleven is an essential part of big city life, just like bodegas in NYC. In a megacity like Tokyo, real estate is at a premium, so kitchens are small. People are encouraged to eat out and look for affordable options. This is where 7-Eleven stands out.
An emphasis on cleanliness
7-Eleven stores are strikingly clean city. People rarely consume food or beverage on the street or subway. Trash cans are hard to come by. Most of the time you have to carry your trash home or to an establishment that happens to have some sort of receptacle.
I almost want to go to Japan to eat at the 7-Eleven stores. Better yet, how do we get these stores in the USA?
