Admin’s Note

I believe Seven & I Holdings’ new plan is a significant move for the convenience store industry. In particular, the introduction of new equipment for selling freshly baked bread will greatly enhance the appeal for customers. Chako’s comment, “It’s amazing to be able to eat fresh bread!” really reflects consumer expectations. I’m looking forward to seeing how their store expansion unfolds in the future.
