Will it soon spread throughout Japan? …The mysterious “Sakura Mikura” convenience store “only in Gunma Prefecture

Convenience stores have completely taken root in the lives of Japanese people. Lawson, FamilyMart, and 7-Eleven are probably the only three companies that are unknown in Japan.

However, there is a “mysterious convenience store” in Gunma Prefecture that is different from the three major convenience stores. The name of this convenience store is Sakura-Mikura. It is a “new convenience store” operated by Zensho Holdings, which operates many restaurant chains such as Sukiya and Nakau.

The store’s bright neon signage, spacious parking lot, and other features are no different from those of other major convenience stores. The only difference from other convenience stores is the use of a terrace as an eat-in space.

However, the interior of the store is different from other convenience stores because it is owned by Zensho Holdings (Zensho HD).
