Almost all my lunches and dinners were bought at convenience stores like Family Mart, Lawson, Daily Yamazaki, and 7-11. My favorite was Family Mart. If you read their 2009 annual report to stockholders, you will find that Family Mart's strategy is to bring their customers "a sense of healing and happiness. . . touching people's hearts through the extension of hospitality." No wonder it's my favorite conbini chain!
