Japanese 7-Eleven’s are Coming to NYC…

- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- 7-Eleven just announced it will be upgrading its stores to their successful Japanese counterparts, but will Americans who like myself see 7-eleven as the perfect place to get bags of chips with flavors that get invented weekly really come here for noodles, salads and ramen?

If you want to make them Japanese, you have to actually have respect for laws and prosecute criminals 😂
that would be a form of oppression for the black community
Given Japan's absurdly high conviction rate (99%), criminals would stay FAR away from Japanese 7-Elevens
That is a great point, the Japanese would never tolerate the Leftard policies in the liberal run cities
You try to run out without paying, they Japanese law will drop the hammer on and fast.
Wish NY gets more Halal shops in the future, try stealing with no hands...
They won't last a week with NYC crime.
100%

Well, they're Japanese. Look at their culture. They've figured it out over there. Maybe they'll bring some of their ways with them. 🤷♂
A week? They won't last a day or so.
7-11 stores in NYC have already lasted much longer than a week w/ NYC crime, and if 7-11 stores in NYC fail due to NYC crime after the change over, they would have failed due to NYC crime anyway.
From Japan. I’m a consultant and I was in 7eleven’s project before.
7-eleven employs a strategy called “dominant senryaku(dominant strategy) and opens up multiple stores in close proximity so that these shops can support each other while reducing the logistical costs.
What I’m getting here is that since NYC shops are mass closing, 7-eleven has perfect breeding ground until they figure out how bad the crimes are, Japan is pretty safe place and we just don’t have a concept of “bad people doing bad things”
Can you elaborate on how 7-11 gets around the problem of cannibalizing their sales with such close proximity of stores?
@@poodlescone9700 frankly they don’t have secret sauce for that, but they locked in pretty well with guessing demand and localizing the stock with precision.
However that might only work because we Japanese are pretty repetitive about our daily routine.
Buzzwords
@@hansheisenberg8737 Why doesnt japan have "bad people doing bad things” could it be that they are a homogeneous society?
@@hansheisenberg8737 NYC already has Japanese convenience stores, supermarkets, bookstores, clothing stores, which have been open for decades. That kind of thing is the norm in NYC. Half of New York’s Japanese population lives in NYC.
NYC is the wrong market target. Honestly, if they tried this near a military base, it's gonna work fine.
There's a 7 Eleven on a corner near an air national guard base where I work as a civilian contractor where such a concept would be welcomed.
7 Eleven bought the Speedway brand for $21 billion that is more a traditional gas station than convenience corner.
I love Japanese vending machines and shops. But the one big difference between America and Japan is RESPECT. WE HAVE ZERO
I do ! I treat other peoples property like my own. I was raised that respect is everything.
Yep. They have an entirely different attitude in Japan.
This video ignores that RENT prices are the reason NYC locations aren't seeing a profit.
The Japanese stores have RENT control
@@Scorpio1964Wines I think they were talking in general, not single cases. Japan (in general) has more
respect and is cleaner than USA.
All they have to do is slowly introduce new stuff and pull back on old stuff no longer selling. It’ll be a problem if the rip the bandaid off though
I'm honestly a tad worried that 7-11 has no idea what they're in for.
at least they will learn after they experienced the truth.
I suspect they do, and they have the theft loss factored in, but probably not long term. The question is how long will it take New Yorkers to decide they have had enough of the lawlessness.
Oh you don't think so? lol They know EXACTLY that they are doing.
@@g7wilson It's a single-party captured completely gerrymandered state. They won't ever be allowed to decide that for themselves.
@@SukiAwake🙄 Oh you think so? Lol. Explain how. In detail. Lol.
I recently went on a trip to Japan and the convenience stores there are amazing. Not only do they have a wide selection, but the food is also delicious.And the price is quite cheap too.
I watch an American woman who lives in Japan and her trips to 7 Eleven are my favorite videos. The food looks so good!
America and especially NYC doesn't have the cultural graces for a Japanese-styled 7/11
Absolutely not!
Agree I know I always go 7/11 in Japan no way NYC a lot of thieves
Adding NYC into your text is like adding extra topping to your already true point 😂
I was thinking that a Japanese style 7/11in NYC and in California would be suited better than try one in.... Tennessee 🤪
Classin up the joint - wish them all the best 😊
This won't last long. The crimes in NYC will cost them to shut down.
@@MomeGnomethey'll be fed for a while that's for sure
@@MomeGnome When all the other stores close down because of theft, they'll be the new target.
@@rickpicone9751if only the thieves would try out their weird foods
That is so true!!!!
@billyc2493, it's just Democrat policies at work, wasteful spending supported by higher taxes, high crime perpetuated by Democrat liberal regressive "But if we punish criminals that makes them want to commit more crimes!" idiocy.... And we know the only reason "FAKE NEWS" comes out with, "OMG LOOK AT HOW MUCH LOWER THE CRIME RATES ARE IN BLUE AREAS!!" is because they've DECRIMINALIZED crime to the extent that virtually _nothing_ is a crime EXCEPT "being Donald Trump" obviously....
I still expect onigiri, instant ramen, fresh prepackaged meals and salads, egg salad sando, fruit sando, matcha parfait, mochi/dango/wagashi, melon pan, baumkuchen, bottled teas, Pocari Sweat, energy jelly packs, Calpico, ramune, and such in American 7-11 next year!
@@MxPotato84 Calpico, egg salad and desserts maybe. And only in urban areas where these items are known already. I think some have instant ramen already. Doubt if Pocari Sweat will ever make it with Gatorade being so strong in US.
I want the onigiri
Let them go under. You walk into an American 7 11 and wonder if the store clerk put a card reader over the credit card machine to skim your card...
I've seen people from other disrespecting Japanese people in japan
never used a card inna 711 it's either cash
Who would have though that Far Left Far Right causes the same problem ... And I though the planet was round.
Where I live in Hawaii 7 Eleven stores already cater to Japanese because of Japanese tourists that come a lot and the local Japanese and the rest of the local population in Honolulu. It’s a wide range of people they cater to which makes them very successful here in Honolulu. Aloha ke akua!!!!!
why don’t they start in Honolulu?
7 Eleven can build a store next to one of the Skyline stops!
Yes these will work if there is a genetic scan upon entry to determine Japanese authenticity.
@@woah99 They already in Honolulu
@@woah99NYC is the largest market to this day for testing
@therealjaystone2344 worst mistake to set up a market test.
That's like trying send someone into a nuclear reactor without a hazmat suit.
I have nothing wrong with Japanese 7-11's coming here. Just... doing it in new york is a big no no
but they won't have the polite staff that's for sure
Nor the polite customer base.
Massive cultural differences
why bother for polite staff when the usual suspects are gonna steal all items in that store anyways
Yall sound like incels and weeaboos
Don't worry, the tittle, "It begins, 7-11 leaves New York" is coming soon
Yes please!! Japanese 7-11 food is amazing….bring it on!! 🇨🇦
I'm someone who has only been to 7 Eleven stores in Japan and in Honolulu. The 7 Eleven stores in Honolulu somewhat resemble the ones in Japan with a good variety of quick meals, snacks, and drinks along with some local exclusives. I didn't realize how different and disgusting the 7 Eleven stores were in the rest of the US. I think the upcoming changes will be good for the image of 7 Eleven in the US.
Love 7-11 in HI. I believe it is because they were owned by the same in Japan in the past... Hopefully now, the rest of the US will also get better
Yep! Oahu’s 7-Elevens provided my fuel for all the hikes I went on on the island. And after my last trip to Japan, their 7-Elevens definitely reminded me of Hawaii’s. As much as I’d LOVE for this Japanese-style kombinis to work in mainland America, I sadly highly doubt it. Us Americans are simply unworthy of actual convenience.
they will be closed in a week. they won't have anything to sell after a week in NYC
How about LESS than a week😂😂😂
I understand that they will be guarded by Samurai warriors! 😊
"Grand opening, grand closing" - Within a week lol
considering what happened, i can understand why so many people here had zero hope.
Guess the Japaknees have lessons to learn.
I’ve visited Japan many times and I often found myself enjoying meals at 7-11 (don't judge me! lol), especially their delicious onigiri. I would love to see more Japanese store items available in our stores. I admire the Japaneses respect for laws, their educational system, and the way they prioritize intelligence and common sense in their children’s upbringing. They know when it’s time for fun and games, and when it’s not, something that seems to have been forgotten by many parents in the United States. I’m also impressed by how clean their cities are. While I’m proud to be American and love our country, I wouldn’t hesitate to incorporate many aspects of Japanese culture into our own, given the chance.
Well said!
The cleanliness of Tokyo blew us away. Especially considering there aren't trash cans anywhere except inside the gas station or store. I thought about it and wondered if our littering problem stems from the fact that we have trash cans all over to encourage discarding your personal trash in public as the social norm. Then eventually it evolved to just throwing trash anywhere. "Its someone's job to come clean the trash up" horrible attitude. My own sister litters like a trashy slob, it really irks me sometimes because she actually knows better.
@@iamatlantis1 no it is just that we have a lot of trash people who make their surroundings trashy.
I used to go to Japan frequently as well, and I agree with you completely.
@@iamatlantis1 honestly i would be happy if they brought more Japanese items to America, cleanliness and kindness will help the the new York area but for rest of the country better foods will help, besides the 3.00 kit kat and $12.00 beef jerky
I welcome more Japanese influence on the classic 7-Eleven store. They have really improved the look and feel of their stores recently, making it an attractive, consistently good experience to shop at.
If I need to run in a store I’m going to the American 7-11 not a Japanese one.
And I really want their japanese products. I'd love to get an onigiri or a pork bun as a quick lunch
@@mergat2970 I'd appreciate easer access to those, especially the pork buns!
YES, I would LOVE to see Japanese food in 711. From onigiri to sushi, to misoshiro, to ocha and macha, please bring it to us!
I just arrived home from a two week trip to Japan and I have to tell you that the 7-Elevens were the most pleasurable shopping experience I’ve ever had. Not to mention the cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever been in a retail establishment.
Agreed. I just got back too and I concur
Japan doesn’t have the 13% criminal culture and liberal judges NY has.
@@lvgk8898you’re sadly right about that
No, we do not. We're nothing like the west in terms of culture. (or lack thereof.) I love it here, no one speaks English.
Coaching gymnastics here has been an absolutely amazing experience; i met my amazing Japanese woman at the gym doesn't hurt either. 🥰🥰
That experience you had will not work in NYC. I don't understand why the Japanese aren't aware. Would someone please recommend Cash Jordan to Japan. We want to protect them because some of us respect them.
its not just the food thats different in Japanese 7Eleven, so is the culture. on the next episode of Cash Jordan "Japanese 7Eleven is leaving NYC"
It might work. Japanese grocery stores in NYC, like Sunrise Mart and Dainobu, are doing well, selling Japanese food, bentos, etc., and there are always long lines when I go. I am thinking this 7-Eleven idea may actually work really well if they can get the Indian franchise owners to buy into this model.
@@nondescriptnyc this was the point...
-------------------------------------------------------------
you are here 🙄
@@-EchoesIntoEternity- I am afraid your attempt at belittling my intellect has failed miserably. In your comment, you merely implied that it will fail in NYC due to cultural differences and provided no further nuances. Yet there are Japanese vendors thriving in NYC (where I assume you have never been?) despite these cultural differences, which you seem completely unaware of. I am just fascinated by people that comment on this NYC channel-with so much hate toward us. If you have such low opinions of NYC, why bother watching this channel?
@@nondescriptnyc yes ive been to NYC and Japan. the cultural difference i was clearly insinuating was the lack thereof with Americans and NYC lackluster soft on crime judicial system. nothing to do with Japanese food culture or their vendors. speak about belittling someone, assuming someone has never been to NYC. sweetheart there is a much larger world outside of NYC and ive been around the globe several times.
You forgot "it begins:" at the beginning of the fictional video name
As a Japanese, living in the ny this is the best news in 2024.
Only better thing that 711 US has is they offer giant coke
I thought 7 11 was a gas station and the 7 11 in my town is a gas station
@@kaylagomez-ne2xt yeah no one believes 7 11 is actually the gas station in Japan
@@Shiroyamon Slurpees hit the spot on a hot day.
Thanks! Love this topic. I lived in Japan for three years.
they better bring some Japanese Samurai do deal with the shoplifting epidemic in NYC 👍
Ha-Son-Chop!
Great idea!!
Each 7-11 will have a samurai whose retainer is the 7-11 corporation 😂
Rooftop Koreans kept their stores safe on the West coast years ago. Let's let the Japanese defend theirs in the same manner.
Off with their 🙌🏻!
I lived in japan 10 years ago. the 7-11s there are clean, friendly, safe, quick and of course, convenient. None of those things are possible in NYC, therefore they are not going to be "Japanese 7-11"s just a 7-11 which happens to sell Japanese stuff in the hell hole of NYC
@dominicdit, there are some very clear distinctions between Japan and NYC and we all know what those are, starting with the lack of "Democrat liberal regressive policies" which in NYC and other Democrat strongholds serve to, "...protect criminals and punish victims...."
They don't either have to lock everything up.
@@dominicdit NYC already has Japanese convenience stores, supermarkets, bookstores, clothing stores, which have been open for decades. That kind of thing is the norm in NYC. Half of New York’s Japanese population lives in NYC.
The best thing about Japanese 7-11 is the fresh and clean food. Not sure if it's possible in NYC.
@@TYD98 …NYC already has Japanese convenience stores who do the same thing…
7-11 is now japanese owned. Their stores in japan are next level. They should bring these stores to everywhere in the US
It's like heaven at these places, everything well stacked & clean compared to US convenience stores. Everything is super colorful too, labels & all are easy on the eyes.
I would probably go to my local 7-11 multiple times a week if they sold Japanese foods and snacks! I absolutely love Japanese foods and love going to places like Nijia Market or to local Japanese grocery stores (in US cities).
I currently NEVER go to my local 7-11! For me, American “gas station” foods, drinks, and snacks are usually overpriced junk that I will never touch unless I am on a road trip and desperate.
Same!
Must be a 7-11 tax write-off, since shoplifters will clean out each store within 24 hours.
They don't have a migrants and shoplifters problem in Japan.
proof that diversity is not a strength.
They are working diligently on changing that in Japan.
Totally different culture and educational system... and way of dealing with offenders. Like comparing Apples and Rolls-Royce's.
@@firestick4991 hopefully japan does not succumb to outside pressure
"they don't have migrants and shoplifters problem in japan" -- so what are you saying, diversity isn't our strength? I always wonder "who's strength" are they talking about when they keep chanting "diversity is our strength" ?
I loved the 7-11s and Family Marts in Japan, and I welcome this change. It was great being able to trust the food from them like its a restaurant or something.
This is so interesting. My husband is a construction superintendent that oversees 7 Eleven remodels. Looks like he may be very busy soon.
YESSSS!!!!! 😊😊😊😊
But these criminals are gonna ruin it!!!! 😢😢😢😢
People voted for these criminals
If the U.S. stores were like the ones in Japan I would shop. I don’t think they would be the same as our stores don’t throw away food for days. In Japan the food is replaced daily. Quality won’t be the same. Staff working at 7-11 in the U.S. are not customer focused you’re lucky if you even get a thank you.
American employees are too busy getting angry about politics and race.
Japan known for their five star 7-11’s and their top-tier vending machines! Hopefully we can get our citizens to also be more like the Japanese!
Cash keeping us informed. This also gives me something to talk about with my coworkers at lunch while keeping them out of my business. 😂😂😂😂
Customers? Shoppers? Do they still exist in NYC? Thought you can just steal what you want now? 🤣
It's not called the land of the free for nothing, everything is free 😂
@@cornebod Let's get free stuff! Everything is free, after all.
7-Eleven in Colorado and Washington state is awful, if they turned from arab to japanese that would be a blessing
Thank you for the video. It brought back a bunch of memories. The 7-11 store ~5 minute mark was in Nippombashi. Our AirBnB was in that building. We could get drinks or snacks anytime.
Just came back from Japan and 711 and Lawson were amazing. You have 10 people in line and it goes by in seconds. Easy and quick to walk by and grab a pretty nutritious meal for really cheap. I ate about 10 egg salad sandwiches in the 12 days I was there 🤣. Their carbonara was delicious 🫣
Now 7/11 gonna get robbed for sushi rolls lol
😆
Put da sushi rolls in da bag and gimme all your monies 😂
hotdogs
Cue the song “Turning Japanese”
I really think so.....
They should use that song in new commercials for 7-Eleven.
I am wearing gloves in that store gross.
They probably would change the stores near colleges. Younger people drink boba tea, eat ramen, Asian stuff ain’t new.
I very much enjoyed the 7 elevens in Japan..it was half a block away from my stay when I went two weeks ago. It was super convenient for everything. Literally, everything.
I can't wait! I prefer it, Hope they give the states around NY some love too. I want Unagi, Tonkatsu, Tempura, Takoyaki, (Japanese) egg sandwiches, royal milk tea, Japanese sweets. Especially the swiss rolls from Japan.
So 7 Eleven has been living under Patrick's House for the past few years. Cant wait for the told you so memes.
Dude the Japanese still think Paris is a romantic vacation.
@@jesterappparis syndrome is a rude awakening for the Japanese tourists
The model might work in red states where flash mob theft doesn't happen.
@@willythemailboy2: Yes, but even THEY have a few notorious blue cities/neighborhoods
where the thieves and thugs venture out.
7-Eleven is owned by Seven & I Holdings, a Japanese company.
The transfer from being US-owned to Japan-owned happened in 1991 when the Japanese supermarket chain Ito-Yokado acquired a 70% stake in the Southland Corporation, the US-based operator of 7-Eleven.
7-Eleven has been under Japanese ownership for quite some time now.
7-11 in the USA cannot serve things like Oden because the criminals will DELIBERATELY spit into the containers before leaving the store. The thugs enjoy doing things like that.
My dream is that people would actually do research before posting their comments. Thank you for taking the time with yours! 🤙🏼
Plus their franchised out to Muslim and Hindu operators. So I'm suppose to eat Japanese food from them?
Hard pass on 7-11 period.
Its been 4 1/2 years since I've stepped into one.
I've been hoping for this!
Another great video, thanks!
Damn people are gonna shoplift it and sell bento boxes on the street
Asian neighborhood don't shoplift. We'll be fine.
Worry about red states like Louisiana, Jacksonville, Memphis Tennessee, those are filled with Gun violence STATISTICALLY
@@mikeymaster2494🤡
Uuuh rice dont tasted well if not properly treated.
Lol right “Japanese style. Each hot dog 🌭 is going to be chained and locked 🔒 up to prevent it from being stolen 😂😂😂
We have a 7- Eleven down our street, and the guy said, they got bought out by a Japanese company and they're going to be renovating, and turning into a Japanese style 7 Eleven, with some American food, but A LOT more Japanese food. He said the food will be fresh every day, and they will still sell slurpies. But a lot of people are excited, we have a Japanese Restraunt down the street too that does REALLY WELL, and my kids LOVE Japanese food. Hell, they eat with Chopsticks.
Thats actually a pretty good idea. In my country, I bought lunch from convenience store 2-3 times weekly. If they can provide affordable and on demand products, they can make $$$
why? Do they want to get robbed?
It works if everything is bulletproof and you can't get in 🤣🤣
Bro there are literally Chanel and Apple stores in nyc I think 7/11 will be fine
Edit: ok guys 😭 I didn’t know so much robbery was happening. But I still think 7/11 will be okay. They’ve probably already calculated how much they can afford to lose. And aren’t the other luxury stores still losing way more than any 7/11 could?
You havent been watching this channel very long, have you?@yaush_
@@yaush_ these types of bodegas are being ransacked and closed week after week. It’s been an increasing problem since Covid hit
@@yaush_ - That's the most uninformed comment I've seen.
Theft in Japan is not really much of a thing and it brings embarrassment to your family. Unless they can figure out how to get money out of your pocket before it walks out of the store, it will be a failure. If you lock up everything of value people will just stay away. Plus the items they do not lock up will be chips and stuff like that. Not a store issue/ It is a Liberal government issue.
It’s easier to maintain a country when it’s practically homogeneous. We have all sorts of fools from every country imaginable here. Close to 800 languages are spoken in NYC alone.
@@johndough4289 ur 100% right and most people never factor this in. Its not just theft either, when peolple want socialism in the us they never think that "sucessful" socialist countries like the nordic ones r incredibly homogeneous as well and having a society with most citizens having the same values it a huge factor.
7_11 owns Speedway now. Hopefully they will update the options there too. The one near me have pizza etc. Folks be buying snacks, drinks, and pizza. We walk over there.
@@johndough4289
Im glad people are waking up to the fact that melanin is the problem. We need less of it
Might work in canada, but def not the us where we get all the dirtbags@@johndough4289
it’s a good direction and I’m proud of them for making the switch. I’m already seeing customers walking around with baskets shopping at 7-Eleven as if it’s a grocery store. I’ve always been saying that they need more alternative foods things that are healthy things that are not just sweets and sugar.
If 711 brought back glass coffee pots that are switched out every 10 minutes,like it used to be,I would go back there forever.
They better not let customers in the store. A smart move would be to just have a walk up drive thru window. Order, pay, get handed items through a bank style security drawer.
This!
That'll lead to workers getting a gun pulled on them sadly. as a worker at a NY store i'd quit on the stop already close on doing so!

very interesting, thanks man
We have a 7/11 here in Toronto in my neighbourhood at a very busy intersection where people go to just to go to. It’s always packed with people after school hours and it’s conveniently located. The neighbourhood is dotted with locally owned shops, convenience stores, and restaurants and ofc a few fast food restos but it still does very good. I think a logical choice would be to try it out in areas that are demographically similar to NYC but relatively safer. I think Toronto would be a good runner-up since we’re already very “travelled”. Lots of Asian branches that do well back home open up here.
Oh my goodness, a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream for $10 bucks. Yikes! NYC is now officially in the sewer.
It's not even a pint...maybe a Dixie cup 🤣
That's ridiculous.
There are foreigners like Thomas Lockley, who is now becoming the most well-known foreigner in Japan, and there are others like the filmmaker of this video who love Japan.
In Japan, I've been hearing all the bizarre claims of Thomas Lockley lately, so it's a relief to see normal people like the filmmaker of this video.
(For those overseas who don't know about Thomas Lockley, listen to the fake wizard Thomas, Isn't that Thomas, Isn't that yasuke, Thomas Lockley is the one being chased by over 91372 Japanese right now.These three songs are about Thomas Lockley.)
That was exciting. please give us more videos like this one.
7/11 used to have the BEST blueberry muffins, now it's dog food! I've never seen such a drop in quality.
Luckily here on long island they get their baked goods shipped in from an actual bakery.
I really hope 7 11 does well, it can cause a chain reaction for people to demand healthy foods and maybe pass some laws like UK or Germany did with their meats and processed goods
Great to feed our dogs, except aren't blueberries dog poison?
Edit: That's actually grapes, not blueberries. I was wrong about that.
Cigarettes and gasoline actually don't make convenience stores & gas stations money. It's getting people in the door to buy all the other stuff is where the money is. My wife has been in that industry for 25 years and See's the backend numbers.
Any place that sells Cigarettes will tell you it is one of their top money makers. Your full of it, worked retail and gas stations my whole life. I call BS.
I worked at Speedway. They really wanted to be seen as a convenient store that sold gas. The advertisement for you to come into the store and buy snacks and food is strong.
@@magickdragonwizard Top money-maker FOR THE STATE.
The owner is lucky to make .30 cents/gal. or pack profit.
The State contributes nothing, but takes (actually YOU mail it in, the State is too busy watching porn.) over 50% in pure Profit.
That's why the pay at the pump is counter productive. You want people to buy snacks and other stuff. So to fix that, they don't refill the receipt paper so you have to go in to get a receipt.
@@magickdragonwizard Up here in Canada our evil government taxes the shit out of tobacco, and anyone with any sense goes Native and saves tons of money on the cheap smokes.
I don't really know, but I hear that the store makes peanuts on legal tobacco, and the evil government makes the most. Same goes for our criminally run alcohol monopolies.
People in homeless shelters put in orders for alcohol thefts, and the booster brings them the bottles.
Everything here is criminally expensive due to evil stupidity from corrupt garbage like Trudeau.
Sooooo on board with this!!!!
I jumped on my computer after watching this just to make this comment. If you want to see what a Japanese 7-11 would look like in America...just look at the Hawaii 7-11's. The Hawaii 7-11's are actually operated by 7-11 Japan so we have more ready-to-consume items that are tailored to our tastes as a state. Now most mainland companies have adapted to what they serve here (McDonalds has a Spam, Eggs, and Rice platter so you can imagine they're pretty much required to have a rice cooker in house) I think the issue is trying to diversify what they sell in each state and, as others have pointed out, looting. Guarantee that if 7-11 is going to play it smart they will make-over a few stores as their test bed, gather the data, and then adapt.
Also from a recent trip to California, man 7-11's on the mainland are actually ass.

We don't have any of these problems in Florida in fact opening a brand new 7-Eleven this month
Baloney!
I live in Florida and the 7-eleven by me had so many problems, there is now a police totem pole with cameras and an automated voicebox saying "You are being recorded." outside the 7-eleven. Also, there are handing out rewards for finding the recent suspects that supposedly broke the law in or near the store.
I'm in central Florida. There is strong competition in the market. Wawa moved in a number of years ago. It raised the bar to adding fresh prepared food. Racetrac started adding on fresh prepared food to their locations. Recently we've seen Buc cees expanding in Florida, but that will only be a few. So, they wont really compete against the average neighborhood convenience store. 7-11 still has a strong presence in central Florida, but they've got allot of competition. I'm not sure how adding a japanese component to the merchandise will effect sales.
I'm in NEO. I walk to Speedway for an evening snack. No problem.

Having owned a convenience store/gas station in the past, I can tell you that gasoline isn’t a big money maker. You can be making as little as 2 cents a gallon profit at times and the equipment is very expensive and must be maintained. Having gas on,y brings the customer in to your store to buy other items that are more profitable, and tobacco products are not the best when it comes to profits either. Drinks are the products that you make the most profit off of, especially fountain sodas. It has been several years since I owned a store, but back then we would have maybe 15 cents total in a large fountain drink that we would sell for 99 cents. And that included the cup and straw, which were nearly half of the 15 cents you had in the drink. That is why so many convenience stores have those big reusable plastic cups for sell that will allow you to get an extra large for the price of a large. They make a profit off of the original sale of the cup, and make even more money off of the refill. And bottled drinks of all sorts also make a good profit, most of the bottled sodas, juices, and teas are sold for twice as much as they cost . But when people are in a hurry, they are willing to pay $2.50 for a soda that they could get an entire 6 pk at the grocery store for little over twice the price. And again, it has been several years, but we would buy 16 oz Pepsi and Coke products for right at 50 cents a unit and sell them for 99 cents all day long. Plus beer and liquor made a lot of money too.
As for food, things that you make from scratch makes the best profits. We had a BBQ pit as well as a deli case and would sell sides and other specials like soups and chili. We made a great profit on our pulled pork and ribs. But items that are prepackaged don’t make nearly the profit, those include things like chips, ice cream, candy, and snack cakes.
I don’t think the kinds of foods that are sold in Japan will be that popular in the US, especially being sold at a convenience store. Pizza is probably the number one selling hot food item sold at convenience stores in this country, with various kinds of chicken or BBQ coming right behind pizza. Quirky Japanese food items would be a nice change for some, but most just won’t buy it on a regular basis. I doubt even the shoplifters wouldn’t take it.
Yeah, even then gasoline stations would be later converted into 24/7 convenience stores instead of gas stations with a convenience store, thus some of the items there are a bit more pricey compared to grocery stores.

@@TheCrazyMoparDude68 the 7/11s here aren’t gas stations. Second of all, they’re doing it in NYC because NYC already has Japanese convenience stores, supermarkets, bookstores, clothing stores, which have been open for decades. That kind of thing is the norm in NYC. Half of New York’s Japanese population lives in NYC.
@@ftdcp4459 there are 7/11s in america that have gas stations
taking in your experience would these things seems like good ideas?: (these are things i've seen in japan 7/11)
- cellphone minute loader
- local events/venue ticket purchasing booth (like atm/lottery booth - but selling museum & 6 flags & water park passes)
- hot soup buffet (offering hot water & broth base & addables like the walking nacho stands (meat/noodles/veggies), can combine with insta-ramen?)
It's not going to work they now have removed the cups in my 7/11 you literally have to ask the cashier for a cup to get a slurpee 🤷🏾
Finally a break from the crime and migrant repetition. But you just regurgitated that WSJ piece, which i saw a couple weeks ago. And you got it wrong: 7-11 becoming more Japanese means adopting a data driven supply chain distribution network to move what sells, not selling Japanese foods in US 7-11s. Japaneseness here means business operations, not the food on the shelves. Fingers crossed that you come up with new and interesting content.
He regurgitates the crime stories from local news, too.
@@marylivingstone9815 True!
Rise of fast food prices will funnel some to 7-11. This is actually great timing.
it begins!
Well...continues. lol

@@m-71tx26 - If you mean by 'change', DEPORT, then yeah.
Always has been
They better bring the ninjas to stop shoplifters.
They need Hideki Tojo's army.
A giant upgrade for US-American convinience stores ... I like!
This makes me so excited
Mostly peaceful shopping coming soon.
a lighthearted story like this cant overshadow the rampant looting of stores in NYC.
Best of luck. Hope it works and spreads to other cities.
They've unfortunately likely already failed. NYC is now little Ecuador.
Ecuador is only crazy in the cities, you literally can't take your phone out unless you want to get mugged/worse. Armed guards all over. Makes Detroit look like a playground, I've seen it all. The state of country breaks my heart.
I worked at a 7-11 for over a year while I was in college, got very lucky once. One night while I was working, the 7-11 closest to me, about a mile away, was held up by druggies and the clerk got offed. I knew the young guy, too, what a shame... My friends thought it was me that got offed when they heard about the offing in the news the next day. I thought long and hard about how that could have been me if those criminals had gone to my store instead... The store and building are long gone, but that memory remains...
My store had some good sandwiches that were very popular, but for some reason, the chain doesn't offer that anymore. I used to eat them because I got them at half price... :) I don't know if the typical American consumer would embrace Japanese food. Time will tell.
Making 7-11 more "Japanese" isn't going to work in America, exactly because of what you just explained. America will supply the violent criminals that will bring it all down.
If they sold the teriyaki egg chicken salad sandwich, the pizza flavored steamed bun and their desert breads, that could be a good gateway food for the American crowd. Oh and strawberry cream sandwiches!
Desert breads? Do they have sand in them?
The teriyaki egg chicken Sando is GOAT status
Omg the teriyaki yes please!!
I still like 7-11 pizza but what did appeal to me was the look of the Japanese pudding in a cup it kinda reminded me of a flan so maybe that'll work in the u.s. and maybe the pizza flavoured steamed bun.
They should bring the egg salad sandwich and especially the onigiri salmon with other types of fillings such as tuna, mayonnaise, and chicken..
But not that is never going to happening to honest. His hopes are way too high..
Lucky you!!!
When I lived in Japan, we ate 7-Eleven all the time!
I’m only commenting to mention that in Vegas near Chinatown plaza a place named Fukuya Market opened and they sell onigiri and ridiculously delicious fresh made bento boxes and sashimi bowls. Go it’s practically across the street from the Golden Tiki. I don’t work there I’m just a weeb who eats like a big back and I’m from Hawaii so I know good food ❤ 😂
I’ll check it out thanks for the suggestion!
As much as I love having Japanese version of 7 11. They picked the wrong time to open one up in new york
Damn it, I'd be onboard with 2am sushi and rice balls.
As much as I enjoy watching all your videos, I sincerely hope that you are keeping yourself and your family safe. If you ever end up leaving New York, I'll miss the videos, but I'll completely understand 👍
I wish nothing but success upon the Japanese owners of 7Eleven. I lived in Japan for two years and the Kombini's were AMAZING! The food is just fantastic. It's not just healthy, for the most part, it's actually really good food.
The cultural differences between Japan and the USA is going to be the biggest hurdle. I see a huge advertising campaign coming.
they would only work in suburbs not in huge big cities where crime is high lol
True
Stores in NYC only make about 90 cents on a pack of cigarettes 🚬 the rest is state ,city taxes & federal taxes
My grandfather owned 7-11s here in CA. He was sadly killed. Hopefully they plan on self defense
Yes, I would love to eat Japanese food from 7-11!! Not all of it would be nutritious but the food taste better.
I’m so pumped for this.
I’m personally looking forward to this. My local 7-11, I talk to the manager and ask for the items I like and he tries to stock them but tells me it’s hard because of what is offered by the distributors.
Me too. I'm curious to see a Japanese 7-11 in nyc since I won't visit Japan anytime soon.
If we can get Japanese style Konbini here in the US that would be absolutely amazing. It'll become the new fast food if they can keep the prices reasonable and quality up !!
Making it easier for average Americans to get Japanese food is a positive change, there a lot of anime fans here. I sure they would show a lot of love.
If 7-11s in the US sell onigiri and nikumon, I’ll never miss Japan again.
A store that sells healthy food? The American market could never compete with that!
We've needed this for long time, It's not worth it if it makes you feel sick after. Convenience Should be healthier.
