FamilyMart Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Takeo Kotani) will celebrate its 45th anniversary in September 2026. Based on five keywords that it has continuously worked on, the company will conduct its activities under the slogan "Ichiban Challenge" (No. 1 Challenge).
As part of its efforts to achieve "Ichiban Chotto Otoku" (No. 1 Little Bargain), FamilyMart is holding the "Delicious and Huge! Same Price, Somehow 45% More" campaign, increasing the quantity of various popular products by 45% at the same price to commemorate its 45th anniversary. The campaign started on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, at approximately 16,400 FamilyMart stores nationwide.
We are pleased to announce that sales for the first week of the "Somehow 45% More" campaign, covering eight products launched from Tuesday, March 24, 2026, for three days, significantly increased by 786% (※1) compared to the regular products before the 45% increase, receiving great popularity.
Furthermore, to ascertain customers' honest feelings when they actually saw and ate the 45% increased products, we conducted a survey on X (formerly Twitter).
From Tuesday, March 31, which marks the second week of the campaign, six new products will be introduced, including "Teriyaki Chicken and Egg Sandwich," and products making their debut in the "More Quantity Campaign" such as "Specialty Curry" and "Large Mentaiko Spaghetti."
※1: Calculated by comparing the total average daily sales amount per store for all target products in the first week of the "Somehow 45% More" campaign during the regular period (February 24 - March 23, 2026) and the first three days after the campaign started (March 24 - March 26, 2026).
**■ "Somehow 45% More" Campaign's First Week Sales are Strong!**
Sales for the first three days of the "Somehow 45% More" campaign's first-week products, launched on Tuesday, March 24, reached 786% of the regular size in total, receiving great popularity. This time, warm products introduced to the lineup for the campaign's first spring launch, "Ramen-So Rekishi wo Kizame Supervised Pork Ramen," recorded a huge hit of approximately 2286% (※2) compared to regular products, and "Stretchy Cheese Rich Pizza Bun" also hit approximately 470% (※2).
※2: Comparison of the average daily sales amount per store for the same product over one regular month (February 24 - March 23) and the first three days after the increase started.
**■ FamilyMart conducted a survey on X about the actual feeling of seeing and eating FamilyMart's 45% increased products!**
**Approximately 580 out of 1,747 people responded that it felt "close to double"!**
As the annual summer increase campaign, which has been held since 2021, enters its sixth year, we conducted a survey targeting X users to clarify how much "sense of increase" customers actually feel from the 45% increase (※3).
The survey results showed that 33.1% of respondents answered "close to double," which was the most common response, with approximately 580 out of 1,747 people responding "close to double." Following this, 40.3% of respondents answered "about 1.5 times" or "about 1.45 times," indicating that many people experienced a volume sensation greater than the actual 45% increase.
※3: Voting was conducted on FamilyMart's official X (formerly Twitter) X survey from Wednesday, March 25, 2026, 18:00 to Thursday, March 26, 2026, 17:59, with options: "It's almost a bug, close to 'double'", "Honestly (or frankly) 'less than 1.45 times'", "Optical illusion? (or a bit more, 'about 1.5 times')", "Exactly as official, 'about 1.45 times'".
※Total votes: 1,747 people
**■ In the second week, "Specialty Curry with over 30 types of spices" will be featured, along with "Large Mentaiko Spaghetti" and "Teriyaki Chicken and Egg Sandwich," perfect for sharing at spring cherry blossom viewing parties and other gatherings!**
