  1. Ugh, too good to be true… if this is legit and the rollout is as good as Japan, I’ll DIE.

    No way in hell are we’re getting 1.50 sandwiches, 1 dollar rice balls. 2dollar nanachicken.

    i’m cautiously optimistic but this could be amazing if they pull it off

    OMG. I dream about this but I can’t imagine we will get the same level of quality and service here in the US as in Japan.

    This is awesome in theory but I have doubts about the quality control 😐

    If I can get that egg sandwich here I’ll be so happy. I now make a dupe recipe but it doesn’t hit the same.

    We need their pricing as well, I remember a hand roll from 7/11 in Hawaii was only like 3-4$

    Can’t believe it will be the same. The Japanese white bread specifically. It’s just better than anything in the US.

  9. A lot of American chains tend to be worse in NY compared to other parts of the country, I can’t even imagine how a Japanese model would be adopted successfully

    Egg salad sandos and karaage bo would be a dream come true

    I was in love with 7/11 in Japan. This would be a dream come true!

    The tuna sandwiches in 7-11 Japan are next level.

    As an investor in Seven & i (the parentco) and the previous separate listing, Seven-Eleven Japan, I used to meet with the management. They’ve wanted to make the US like the Japanese business for a long time. There are 2 key issues: 1) US franchisees haven’t been cooperative, and 2) US doesn’t have the population density, especially where the current store footprint is located.

    Also management, like most Japanese companies, is pretty unmotivated to do quick turnarounds.

  14. From a video I watched about this, it seems like they are trying to create more Japanese oriented commissaries around the US to manufacture Japanese products for their stores. If they are able to do this, itll be a game changer.

    All I have to say is what the price be double of the price in Japan

    They are gonna ruin it. Like CFA outside of the south

    I love the ones in Japan. They also are in S. Korea and china too.

  18. If I can get japan 7-11 quality onigiri at a 7-11 in nyc I will be there daily.

    Well we’ve already got the Japanese hospitality down with a doorman at every 7-11

    The quality of 7-11 in Florida is so terrible it makes NYC area 7-11s look like Tokyo. As a shift worker who now lives in a place with zero food options after midnight it hurts.

    the japanese 7-11 has owned a majority stake in the us 7-11 for decades, ever since the US management ran it into the ground taking on junk bond debt and the japanese sub-division bailed them out. 😂

    this might actually happen.

    I’ll believe it when I see it. Japanese 7-Elevens (and Lawson and FamilyMart) are amazing – wonderful food, clean, great service. That’s a big ask domestically. Where are they going to source the food? The fantastic Japanese 7-Eleven egg sandwich is about $1.80 – we’re getting that? I don’t think so.

    7-Eleven Corp (which is Japanese) recently bought Sunoco so we might be getting Japanese 7-Eleven foods at Sunoco gas stations too.

    To those who’ve not experienced Japanese convenience stores (konbini) this is absolutely not “gas station food”. Konbini food is fantastic quality and so, so cheap. I’ll be deeply impressed if they can pull this off.

    What about the service and the cleanliness and the part where there are no crazy druggies loitering outside by the entrance?
