INTRODUCTION: FOOD RETAILING: 1850-1990 Before the introduction of supermarkets, fast food outlets, supercenters, and hypermarts, various other food retailing formats operated successfully in the US. During the latter half of the 19th century, the chain store began its rise to dominance as grocery retailing format. The chain grocery store began in 1859 when George Huntington Hartford and George Gilman founded The Great American Tea Company, which later came to be named The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company (Adelman, 1959). The typical chain store was 45 to 55 square meters, containing a relatively limited assortment of goods.

  • NEWS LETTER No.49 September 2016
    JPFP 国際人口問題議員懇談会 The Japan Parliamentarians Federation for Population NEWS LETTER No.49 September 2016 In our July newsletter we featured the JPFP publication, Toward an Aging Society: Issues and Recommendations. Japan’s aging population was an issue of concern to JPFP as long as 35 years ago when JPFP first published this book. It was a work that looked at Japan’s core responses to its aging in the context of the time, and offered policy recommendations for the nation to adopt. On a variation of this theme, this month we will be looking at measures that business sectors in Japan are taking in response to the country’s aging. Specifically we will be looking at Japan’s convenience stores, which of all Japan’s businesses might be said to have grown in parallel with the nation’s aging. The history and role of convenience stores in Japan It may be something of an exaggeration to say, but convenience stores in Japan are turning into a part of the country’s infrastructure that supports the daily lives of its older citizens. Convenience stores however do not have a long history in Japan. The present-day incarnation of the convenience store in Japan dates back to May 1974, when Seven-Eleven opened its first store in Toyosu, Tokyo. This was the time of the first “oil shock”, a turning point which signaled the end of the period of rapid economic growth that began with Japan’s post-war recovery and transformed the country, as symbolized by events such as the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 and the normalization of diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China.

Supermarkets continue to represent the bulk of the retail food market, accounting for a 74 percent share. Drugstores and internet sales of food and beverages are steadily increasing. Ready-to-eat meals (REM) and take-home food items represent another strong area of growth, and sales from this sector are key to increase retail food and beverage industry revenue.
