INFORICH Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director Group CEO: Hironobu Akiyama, hereinafter "INFORICH"), which operates the mobile battery sharing service "CHARGESPOT™", and Lawson United Cinemas Inc. (Headquarters: 1-11-2 Osaki, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, President & CEO: Toshihide Shimizu, hereinafter "Lawson United Cinemas") have completed the installation of "CHARGESPOT" in 38 Lawson United Cinemas theaters nationwide on April 1, 2026. Both companies will cooperate with the aim of providing a charging environment where people can fully enjoy watching movies and promoting usage by new users.
A movie theater is a place where people stay for a long time, with screening times ranging from an hour and a half to three hours, and many visitors use their smartphones before and after the screening to post on SNS, check tickets, and search for transit information. On the other hand, there are many voices, especially among young people, saying, "I'm worried my battery will die while watching the movie," making the provision of a charging environment inside the theater a direct issue for improving the customer experience. By installing "CHARGESPOT" in 38 theaters this time, an environment has been created where people can fully enjoy both the time before the screening and the lingering feelings after watching without worrying about charging. INFORICH will continue to enhance its value as infrastructure that eliminates "anxiety about charging" in long-stay facilities such as movie theaters and in every scene of daily life, and will continuously provide services that align with the characteristics of the facilities and the behavior of visitors.
