Do you know コンビニ? Konbini is short for Convenience store.

Japanese are really in love with convenience stores, like “7-Eleven”, “Lawson”, “Family Mart” (those are big 3 in Japan) and etc.

Can you imagine this?

I assume most of people think this is strange. “Why convenience store??”

But, once you would explore Japanese convenience store, you must be in love with that as same as Japanese.

Japanese convenience store is real “One stop shop” where you can buy everything you want for your day to day life!

Also, Japanese convenience store operation is all day!

Lawson

ローソン

Lawson is one of the top convenience stores in Japan.

Most of Japanese reckon Lawson is Japanese originated company.

Doesn’t it??

See below the history of Lawson.

Origins of Lawson

The company name of Lawson and its trademark white milk can against a blue background date back to 1939 in Ohio, the United States, where J. J. Lawson ran a dairy milk store. “Mr. Lawson’s milk store” was locally renowned for its fresh and delicious milk and many customers came to buy milk there every morning. J. J. Lawson subsequently established Lawson Milk Co. and developed this into a chain of stores selling various commodities including daily necessities mainly in the northeast of America. The chain name “Lawson” and the milk can logo daily evoking an American dairy farm originated out of this milk trader in the United States. In 1959, Lawson Milk Co. became an affiliate of the American food giant Consolidated Foods Inc. and continued to widely expand its network of stores out of Ohio while establishing the convenience store operating system.

So, we can find “mark of the milk” on the signboard.
