Convenience Stores

To the people of Japan, the convenience store is not just a place to get daily necessities at any time. They also are centers for mail and shipping, have bank ATMs, and all kinds of bills and purchasing can be paid for in cash from any local neighborhood location. So the Japanese convenience store is a hub of a lot of community activity.

Some places used mobile trucks...

Eventually temporary structures were erected to house the new store....
