The meaning behind "Ichiban Challenge"
FamilyMart will celebrate its 45th anniversary in September 2026.
To adapt to changing times and continue to be chosen as "Ichiban" (the best) by customers, transcending the boundaries of a convenience store, we have adopted "Ichiban Challenge: Creating many of your 'Ichiban'" as our new slogan.
Under this slogan, we will continue our biggest challenge in FamilyMart's history, based on eight areas: "Delicious," "A Little Bargain," "Exciting and Fun," "Discovering Wonderful Things," "Innovative and Cutting-edge," "Environmentally Friendly," "A Place to Work," and "Loved by the Community."
