FamilyMart Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Takeo Kotani) will celebrate its 45th anniversary in September 2026. Building on five key themes it has continuously worked on, the company is operating under the slogan "Ichiban Challenge." As part of initiatives aiming for "most innovative and cutting-edge" and "most loved by the community," in collaboration with Gate One Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President CEO: Ichiro Kurashita), which operates the in-store retail media, FamilyMart will start airing crime prevention public awareness ads on its in-store digital signage "FamimaTV" from Tuesday, June 9, 2026.

Contributing to a safe and secure local society through store media visited by 15 million people daily

This initiative aims to utilize convenience store media located on daily life routes to raise public awareness of crime prevention, prevent crimes such as special fraud across society as a whole, and contribute to building a safe and secure local society.

Two versions of videos will be aired. During morning and daytime hours, ads will promote the use of the "National Police Agency-recommended special fraud prevention app (free)" that automatically blocks scam calls. Against the backdrop of a recent surge in special fraud using international calls, these ads will be centered on morning and daytime hours when the elderly are more likely to see them, calling for prevention of damage. During late-night hours, the ads will inform about important wanted suspects designated by the National Police Agency and call for information.

Through this collaboration with the National Police Agency, FamilyMart will strengthen the public nature and reliability of "FamimaTV" as a media platform, and continue to promote activities aimed at solving social issues as an information infrastructure.
