Riassunto
- At a time when the giant department stores and supermarkets dominated the
Japanese retail industry, two businessmen, Toshifumi Suzuki and Hideo Shimizu,
discovered a new type of small retail store flourishing in America - the
Seven Eleven. Called a "convenience store," it was a concept new to the
Japanese. Intrigued by this new idea and convinced that it would suceed in Japan
as well, the two men put together a project team of fifteen members, all virtual
novices to the retail trade, to bring this venture to their land. Staking his
entire livelihood, young storeowner Kenji Yamamoto volunteers to convert his
family-owned liquor store into the first Seven Eleven in Japan. The hardship of
negotiations, the oil shock, the struggle to cope with inadequate space -
all were met with resolve and innovation, culminating in what is now called the
retail revolution!
