FamilyMart operates around 6,200 stores in Japan, as well as around 4,000 franchised stores in South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.
FamilyMart is Japan’s third-largest convenience store operator after Seven-Eleven Japan and Lawson. Seven-Eleven Japan has said it plans to open its first Chinese store in Beijing this month, while Lawson already operates stores in Shanghai.
