Japan has more 7-Eleven locations than anywhere else in the world. Of the 28,123 stores around the globe, 10,868 (39%) of them are located in Japan. 1,396 are in Tokyo alone.
The feel and look of the store is somewhat different from that of the U.S. 7-Elevens in Japan are generally cleaner and offer a wider selection of products and services. Japanese 7-Elevens offer not only food, drinks, and magazines, but also video games and consoles, music CDs, DVDs, alcohol, condoms, personal hygiene products, as well as seasonal items like Christmas cakes, Valentine's Day chocolates, and fireworks. Customers can also pay for utilities, buy concert tickets, and withdraw money from their bank accounts using the ATM. Slurpees and Big Gulp super size soft drinks are not sold in Japan. Food sold includes Japanese as well as Western items: onigiri, udon, oden, sushi, instant ramen, salad, hot foods like corn dogs, microwaveable burritos, large Chinese meat buns, sandwiches with the crusts cut off, and bento.
