HIGASHI-OSAKA, Osaka Prefecture A leading convenience store chain locked in an escalating dispute with a former franchise owner who dared to challenge its around-the-clock business model has upped the ante again.
Mitoshi Matsumoto incurred the wrath of Seven-Eleven Japan Co. and made national headlines in February 2019 when he decided to close his Seven-Eleven outlet here during the graveyard shift because he couldn’t find people to work those hours.
In doing so, he went against the company s long-held business practice of staying open all hours. This led to a legal battle with both sides filing lawsuits seeking compensation.
