Japan’s Lawson To Open Convenience Store for 1st Time in Trailer on Trial Basis in Kanagawa Pref.
Lawson, Inc. will trial its first mobile convenience store using a trailer in Ebina, Kanagawa Prefecture, next Thursday.
Lawson, Inc. is set to open its first trailer-based convenience store in Ebina, Kanagawa Prefecture, on a trial basis. The store, positioned south of Ebina Sports Park, will be operational from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The product selection will comprise approximately one-seventh of the items found in a standard Lawson store, totaling around 500 items such as boxed lunches, onigiri rice balls, and confections.
Basic amenities will be absent, as the trailer store will lack an ATM or photocopier. These mobile stores can be swiftly established at a minimal expense and can be relocated effortlessly using towing, making them ideal for deployment in disaster-stricken regions or areas with scarce shopping facilities. Lawson will evaluate the profitability and operational challenges of the trial store before deciding on potential expansion to other regions.
