[Kyushu Region Exclusive] FamilyMart x HKT48 Project Starts April 7th: Win Autographed Posters by HKT48 Members!? Sequential Rollout of Kyushu Support Project Including Bromides with Messages

FamilyMart Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Tateo Kotani) will celebrate its 45th anniversary in September 2026. Based on five key words that the company has continuously focused on, it will conduct activities under the slogan 'Number One Challenge.' As part of its efforts to become the 'most loved in the community,' FamilyMart will launch new initiatives for the 'FamilyMart x HKT48 Community-Based Kyushu Support Project,' a collaboration with 'HKT48' operated by Mercury Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture; CEO: Yosuke Bito) that has been ongoing since 2025, starting Tuesday, April 7, 2026. In addition to conducting campaigns at approximately 1,500 FamilyMart stores in the Kyushu region (Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Oita, Miyazaki, and Kagoshima prefectures) and Yamaguchi Prefecture (some stores), the company will roll out original bromides via the in-store multi-copy machine service 'Famima Print' at approximately 16,400 FamilyMart stores nationwide. *Some stores do not have multi-copy machines installed. ■ Together boosting Kyushu under the slogan 'HKT48 and Convenience Stores'! Based on its basic philosophy of 'being close to the community,' FamilyMart aims to become 'like a local family' through its stores. As part of this, the company is strengthening retail entertainment that supports 'Oshikatsu' (fandom activities) through collaborations with popular content, specifically by providing wrapped stores, Famima Prints, and collaboration gourmet foods. 'HKT48' was born on October 23, 2011, as an idol group based in Fukuoka, and 2026 marks its 15th-anniversary year. In this project, which has been running for a year since November 2025, we will aim to further revitalize the region under the slogan 'HKT48 and Convenience Stores.' We will expand the scope of our activities, keeping social contribution activities in mind. Please look forward to future developments. ■ HKT48 x Asahi Soft Drinks Campaign!
