There Are Clouds on the Horizon in Japan’s Conbini-Land
==========

Japan's convenience stores, known as conbini, are popular among tourists for their quirky offerings. Lawson, one of the major conbini chains, is planning to go private, indicating potential challenges in the industry. The stores were a highlight during the Tokyo Olympics, providing a wide range of food options 24/7. However, the move by Lawson suggests that the best years for the conbini industry may be behind it.
