[Kyushu Region Exclusive] Supporting the Region Together with HKT48! "Food Drive" Collaboration BOXes Delivering Member Voices Through Donations Appear at 8 Kyushu Stores! Phase 2 of the Regional Engagement & Kyushu Support Project Begins.

FamilyMart Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and President: Takeo Kotani) will celebrate its 45th anniversary in September 2026. Based on the five keywords we have continuously worked on, we will carry out activities under the slogan "Number One Challenge." As part of our efforts aiming to be "the most loved by the region," we are launching a new project for the "FamilyMart x HKT48 Regional Engagement & Kyushu Support Project," a collaboration with "HKT48" operated by Mercury Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Representative Director: Yosuke Bito) that has been ongoing since 2025. We will sequentially deploy specially designed "Famima Food Drive" donation collection boxes starting Wednesday, April 22, 2026. Additionally, under the theme "Cheer up Nagasaki!", HKT48 members took on the challenge of being a "One-Day Store Manager." ■ Working together with HKT48 as a "conbi" (combination/convenience) to liven up Kyushu! FamilyMart aims to be "like a family in the region" through its stores, based on the basic philosophy of "staying close to the region." As part of this, we are strengthening retail entertainment by supporting "Oshikatsu" (supporting one's favorites) through collaborations with popular content, specifically offering wrapped stores, Famima Print, and collaborative gourmet food. "HKT48," based in Fukuoka, will celebrate its 15th anniversary in 2026. In this project, under the slogan "HKT48 and Conbi-ni" (a pun on convenience store and combination), we will aim for further regional revitalization. ■ Original "Famima Food Drive" donation collection box collaborating with HKT48 members appears! A first-ever gimmick! A message from the members when you donate!? To further enliven the "Famima Food Drive" contributing to regional food support and food loss reduction, original collection boxes featuring the HKT48 logo will be implemented for a limited time at select stores starting Wednesday, April 22. This initiative is a special collaboration between HKT48, which values ties with the region, and FamilyMart, which is expanding its food support network. As a first-time attempt, the box is equipped with a gimmick that plays a special message from the members when you donate food.
