Greetings

I am Tatsuo Odani, Representative Director and President.

On September 1, 2026, FamilyMart reached the major milestone of the 45th anniversary of its founding.
Guided by its corporate message, “FamilyMart, Where You Are One of the Family,” FamilyMart has continued to evolve in response to social changes and customer needs. Today, we have grown into a chain of approximately 25,000 stores in Japan and overseas, thanks to the support of our customers who visit our stores daily, our franchised stores, business partners, and everyone involved with FamilyMart. I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude.

To commemorate this milestone year of our 45th anniversary, we have adopted the key message, “Aiming to Be Your No. 1 Choice.” Building on our past achievements, we are determined to create more of what matters most to our customers by taking on the boldest challenge in FamilyMart’s history.

As the economic environment changes at unprecedented speed, we must redefine the role of convenience stores. This past July, we launched the Next FamilyMart Project, an initiative exploring the potential of the “next convenience store,” and opened FAMIMA PARK AZABUDAI, FamilyMart's first flagship store as a symbol of this initiative. Through co-creation with creators, we will bring even greater creativity, enjoyment, and excitement to convenience stores.

Furthermore, we will integrate the digital touchpoints provided by our FamiPay mobile payment app, which has surpassed 30 million downloads; digital signage installed in over 11,000 stores nationwide; physical store network of approximately 16,000 locations; and customer ID base of 55 million, the largest in the retail industry, to further evolve our stores moving forward. We hope you will look forward to these developments.

We will continue to embrace challenges in our day-to-day operations to build a happy future for everyone connected to FamilyMart. We will bring joy to the daily life of each customer and contribute to local communities through our products and services. We will always act with integrity and without fear of change. We will create new value by thinking for ourselves, unbound by existing boundaries, while engaging in ongoing dialogue with those around us.

We sincerely ask for your continued support going forward.
