The proposals include installing Aeon automated teller machines at Lawson stores and developing private brand products together, reported The Daily Yomiuri yesterday (12 October).
It would be a boost to Aeon’s convenience store format to join up with the nation’s second-largest convenience store operator, Lawson, with Seven-Eleven Japan topping the convenience store industry at the moment.
