INFORICH Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and 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 and Representative Director: Toshihide Shimizu; hereinafter "Lawson United Cinemas") have completed the installation of "CHARGESPOT" at 38 Lawson United Cinemas theaters nationwide as of April 1, 2026. The two companies will collaborate to develop a charging environment that allows customers to fully enjoy their movie-going experience and to promote usage among new users.
Movie theaters are venues where visitors spend a long time, with screenings lasting from one and a half to three hours. Many visitors use their smartphones before and after screenings to post on social media, check tickets, or search for transit directions. On the other hand, there have been many concerns, particularly among younger generations, about their batteries dying while watching a movie, making the development of a charging environment within theaters a direct challenge for improving the customer experience. With the installation of "CHARGESPOT" in these 38 theaters, an environment is now in place where customers can enjoy their time before the screening and the lingering excitement after the movie without worrying about their battery levels. INFORICH will continue to enhance its value as an infrastructure that eliminates "charging anxiety" in long-stay facilities such as movie theaters and in all aspects of daily life, while continuously providing services tailored to the characteristics of facilities and the behavior of visitors.
Installation Details Installation Completion Date: Wednesday, April 1, 2026 Installation Locations: 38 Lawson United Cinemas theaters Installed Models/Quantity: 20-slot units × 38 units (1 unit per theater)
