06.21.2005, 09:14 AM

AWESOME Japanese convenience store operator FamilyMart Co. said Tuesday it plans to open 200 stores in the U.S. over the next four years, the first in California.

The inaugural U.S. store will open July 20 in West Hollywood, California, under the name “Famima,” the nickname widely used by Japanese.

It will offer traditional Japanese convenience store staples like “omusubi” rice balls, “bento” box lunches and sushi, as well as U.S. fare like takeaway sandwiches, the company said in a statement. < -- I've died and gone to heaven! "We would like our American customers to experience a new shopping style," it said. FUCK YEAH, I have been waiting for this for EIGHT YEARS!!! The store will also feature wireless Internet access, an ATM, a copy machine and an eat-in area, it said. COOL! The company said it plans to have three U.S. locations by the end of the year and about 200 by February 2009. OPEN ONE IN DC. I BEG YOU. FamilyMart already has about 11,500 stores, including franchises, in Japan and other Asian locations including South Korea, Thailand, China and Taiwan.

Guess what? When “Famima” opens in DC, I never have to go to Japan again! I’ll just eat lunch there every day! Haha! I never thought Forbes Magazine would make me feel like dancing on air, but then I never expected this either! Joy!

  1. A-fucking-men to that brother. Maybe they will bring in a good selection of cup noodles too! But please don’t let the o-musubi be hamburger flavored.

  2. That’s the best news i’ve heard all month! I can’t believe how excited I’m getting just thinking about that store coming to America. First, I got me some Yoshinoya in NYC last week, and now, this! I’ve died and gone to heaven…

  3. Holy hell that’s exciting. I share the feeling of potential euphoria, but unfortunately I live no where near California >_

  4. Guess what? When “Famima” opens in DC, I never have to go to Japan again!

    But it didn’t, and look where you are now…
