▼ 7-Eleven Japan To Deliver C-Store Goods By Train
- Category:Other
The retailer will trial this new transportation method to fight dependence on truck deliveries due to a driver shortage.
7-Eleven Japan will trial trains for transporting goods across convenience stores as a new initiative amidst shortage in truck drivers.
According to a report by NHK, the company is teaming up with private rail operator Keio Corporation to deliver products along the Inokashira Line, which runs throughout the western suburbs of Tokyo. The items will be delivered to c-stores located inside rail stations.
With this implementation, 7-Eleven aims to try different solutions to the truck driver shortage that the local industry has been struggling with recently.
In addition, stores located inside train stations are often problematic for truck drivers, due to their lack of adequate parking and heavy traffic around the area.
Under this new system, most products will be delivered during regular operating hours, while perishable items such as sandwiches and meals will be transported during off-peak hours to ensure freshness.
The rail operator’s personnel will unload goods at three stations as part of the trial phase. Additionally, 7-Eleven is exploring the possibility of expanding the initiative with other rail operators.
