Developing the products that make FamilyMart special

Over the years, FamilyMart has launched many products that typify the brand, such as "Fami-chiki" boneless fried chicken (2006), and which have an overwhelming and absolute competitive edge. In the autumn of 2013, the Company is set to launch full-scale development of the FAMIMA PREMIUM series, with a particular commitment to food materials, preparation method and outer appearance to provide specialty store quality. We are also strengthening our "FamilyMart collection" range, comprising the Regular line of high-quality, daily-use items at reasonable, attractive prices, and the Platinum line of high-value-added products with higher-grade ingredients and preparation methods.

Hospitality in all we do, and a broader range of store services

Looking ahead, while upholding our high standards of customer hospitality and responsiveness, we are improving our stores by expanding the number of product lineups that meet the needs of female and elderly customers, installing eat-in areas as standard in our stores, and otherwise expanding the services and options available at our stores to meet diversifying customer needs.
