24-hour stores in Japan such as 7-11 and McDonalds cut opening hours amid labour crunch
TOKYO - Businesses with 24-hour operations in Japan, including convenience store 7-11, are looking at reducing their opening hours as franchise owners grapple with severe personnel shortages, Nikkei Asian Review reported.
The convenience store operator under Seven & i Holdings will review the results to decide what to do with franchise locations, which account for 98 per cent of all stores, Nikkei said. The company has made 24-hour operation a basic rule for franchise locations not only for customers' convenience, but also because it has built its own production and logistics operations around this business model.
