INFORICH Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Group CEO: Hironobu Akiyama, hereinafter INFORICH), which operates the mobile battery sharing service "CHARGESPOTTM (Charge Spot)", is pleased to announce that in collaboration with FamilyMart Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Takeo Kotani, hereinafter FamilyMart), the number of FamilyMart stores equipped with "CHARGESPOT" battery stands surpassed 10,000 in June 2026. This marks the first time for "CHARGESPOT" to reach 10,000 installations at a partner company in Japan.

Background of Expansion and Future Initiatives "CHARGESPOT" currently has approximately 60,000 units deployed nationwide and is expanding its installations to a wide range of facilities and stores, including train stations, commercial complexes, and restaurants.

Convenience stores, with their numerous locations along consumers' daily routes, have provided high convenience to store users in addressing the challenge of "smartphone battery depletion" in daily life.

In the future, to meet the needs of an even greater number of users, we will further strengthen the medium- to long-term cooperative relationship between the two companies. As part of this initiative, we plan to newly introduce "CHARGESPOT" in approximately 2,000 FamilyMart stores nationwide by 2027, accelerating the provision of "peace of mind that you can charge anytime" in all aspects of daily life as social infrastructure.

Shinya Yamanaka, Assistant General Manager, Creative Office & 8, FamilyMart Co., Ltd. Comment

As smartphones have become indispensable infrastructure, we have deeply sympathized with the convenience and future potential of "CHARGESPOT" in solving the problem of running out of battery while out and about, and have been promoting its adoption since the early stages of the service. Under our corporate philosophy of "FamiChika! (Convenience store, close to you)", we aimed for nationwide deployment from the outset, utilizing our store network across the country to create an environment where customers can use the service "anytime, anywhere" along their daily routes.

We are deeply moved and extremely pleased to have achieved 10,000 store installations. This is the result of INFORICH's swift and strong deployment capabilities and the support of many customers for this service, and we are very proud of the outcome of the strong partnership between our two companies.

Moving forward, we aim to deepen the collaboration between our companies even further and continue to create new value together with INFORICH.
