Lawson launches a new format focused on “daily shopping,” opening the mini-supermarket “L Mini Mart”

Lawson opened the first "L Mini Mart" store in Kodaira, Tokyo, converting a Lawson Store 100 location into a mini-supermarket.

The new format focuses on everyday groceries, offering about 2,800 items including produce, meat, and frozen foods.

Lawson plans to roll out the same format next in Itabashi and Hiratsuka as a demonstration test.

The company aims to gauge customer response and strengthen its position between convenience stores and small supermarkets.
