Moving forward, NIGO will have a hand in the chain’s visual branding, collaborative projects, strategic product categories, creative direction of next-gen stores and more.

According to FamilyMart director and President Kensuke Hosomi, he comments, “This partnership with NIGO, who is attracting attention from around the world for his diverse creative activities, is a great pleasure for FamilyMart, which advocates ‘a convenience store that takes on challenges!’ We will deepen Japan’s unique sense and esprit together with NIGO, and aim to become a convenience store that is loved by customers all over the world like a family, by realizing ‘combined with you’ in the daily lives of the future.”

NIGO will work towards elevating the perception of Japanese convenience stores through the FamilyMart branding. Hoping to bring collaborations to FamilyMart in a wide range of fields, NIGO comments, “As Japan continues to garner global attention, convenience stores (konbini) best embody Japan’s unique lifestyle and culture.
