Support measures for FamilyMart stores decided at 20:51 on April 28 due to the impact of the new Corona
FamilyMart, a major convenience store, has increased the burden of store operations due to the spread of the new coronavirus and the number of stores where it is difficult to continue normal operations, so even if the late night operation is stopped, it will be open 24 hours a day. We decided on support measures such as maintaining the support money that we are giving out.
In FamilyMart, sales are declining mainly in office districts due to the spread of the new coronavirus, and due to concerns about infection to employees, etc., the store is temporarily closed at the discretion of the member store, or the store that closes midnight business is increasing.
As a result, the company has decided to provide support to merchants who find it difficult to continue operating normally.
Specifically, the headquarters will pay 120,000 yen per month to stores that operate 24 hours a day, and will continue to pay to stores that have closed or shortened hours in April and May.
In addition, if employees are infected and are forced to take leave, in addition to paying a 100,000 yen stipend, the headquarters will bear the entire cost of disinfecting the store.
In addition, to prevent infections, the company will call on member stores to remove ashtrays, which are often crowded with customers, so that customers cannot use the trash cans at stores.
As a general rule, convenience store companies continue to operate normally after the emergency is declared, but there are many cases where employees are infected and they are closed, and each company is providing support for store operations.
