Week 8: The Comparison of Japanese Convenience Store and Others

 When you traveled abroad, have you been to convenience stores? I have been to Australia, but I do not know what they sell because I did not go to convenience stores. I do not know whether a convenience store exist in other countries. However, I know that there is a convenience store in the United States because I have learned the convenience store.(The origin of the convenience store is te United States. Week1) I want to know what kind of country a convenience store is in and what kind of thing it sell. Do you want to know it, too? I explain them in the topic.
 The personal store of the business condition that was near to the convenience store existed for a long time any place other than Japan, but the model that it was in the form to develop a seen chain occurred today in the United States. However, know-how for to decide it at the stage when these were brought into the retail industry of Japan, and even warm merchandise management and the narrowness stor of the urban area to provide a having many kinds item efficiently is studied thoroughly and a management technology cultivated adversely in japan by the United States side is provided and does it. I mention the circumstances of the convenience store in United States, Asia and Europe.

1.The United States
There are many convenience stores of a form provided along by agas station in the United States. In addition, American convenience stores sell the car articles such as engine oil or the car washing article which are not sold in the Japanese stores ones. Moreover, there is the store which car maintenance has staff and pit who can do it, and preforms even the repair that it is easy of the car including exchange and the flat repair of the engine oil. This reason why a car moving a long distance is stranded in an area without the house is that I am concerned with life and death directly in some cases because the United States has very large country.

2.Asia
A convenience store opened slightly from Japan late in Taiwan at the end of 1970s. About 9000 convenience stores open a store, and it is said that it is world's best density for the population ratio now. A Japanese convenience store begins an advance in about 2000 in Asia. The convenience store is the situation yet not to be able to say the spread by rising industry in China, but higher than 1000 stores open a store only in Shanghai in ten years, and the fierce share competition between the managers that it is said to make money becomes popular. In addition, Lawson is in Indonesia elsewhere.                                                                         

3.Europe
        convenience store of Copenhagen
In Europe, there is little retail store in itself of the business, and business condition in itself called the convenience store is hard to be established early in the morning by night on a holiday Saturday and Sunday by religions and cultures. Because the long time business of the retail store is impossible by laws and regulations that it is early morning and the middle of the night or Sunday, in Germany in particular, it is limited to parts such as service station juxtaposition shops. However, a lot of stores such as a kiosk saying instead in Japan are seen. In addition, Seven-Eleven is in Norway, Sweden, Denmark in spite of being a few.
