Japanese 7-Eleven by ASIAN BOSS

@khoaki72049
In Hawaii our 7-11 has bentos, musubis, sandwiches, also spaghetti, hot pizzas, hamburger steak, just to name a few items. But been to Japan's 7-11 and they are amazing.

In Japan, there aren’t thieves ravaging stores like what happened in past years, when 7-Eleven stores in the USA were reportedly being robbed day and night.

@jackraymond987
In Vancouver, BC they shut them down due to junkies robbing them.

Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand’s 7-Eleven are my top three ✅

We did a case study about Seven & i Holdings Co., Ltd. in Japan during my MBA studies. Japan's Seven-Eleven supply chain is unlike any other; it can't be replicated 1:1 in the US. They track just how popular a drink or snack is in real time. Lastly, the company is committed to quality food. I have NEVER had bad food there during my seven years there.

Oh you guys are really on your game! It’s so heartbreaking living in NYC and not having the same 7-Eleven experience that my brother living in Japan does.

@NosmoKing001
You have hit the issue perfectly. It is culture that makes the Japanese 7-11 possible. There are so many things that I’ve seen when traveling in Japan where I’ve said “That’s why we can’t have nice things in the USA”

@FernandoHatsumura
Here in Japan, you can pay utility bills and taxes at 7-Eleven, and also ship packages, collect concert tickets... It's not just foods and drinks.


Japanese 7-Eleven feels like a different universe, while the American version is struggling and trying to “be more like Japan.” But what if the real reason has nothing to do with fresh sandwiches at all? In this episode, ASIAN BOSS breaks down the hidden system behind Japan’s convenience store empire — and why copying it may be far harder than you think.
