According to statistics, the density of convenient stores in Taiwan is the densest of all the world. The quantity of convenient stores has been over 9300, and the amount is lasting increasing. Among several corporations, 7-11 is the greatest chain store of convenient stores, and the second and the third individually is FamilyMart and Hi-Life. In a metropolis, it is a common phenomenon that there are at least three convenient stores in the same street.

An avenue to success-creativity
The convenient stores not only sell “convenience”, but also creative services. In addition to selling articles for daily use, you can pick up your online merchandise, pay the bill, printing your document, draw money from ATM, and so on. Some certain stores set seats that customers can make a deal and take a rest; it also offers a rest room and temporary parking lot for long-distance traveler.

The more the franchise stores open, the less profit can be made
By following the density of convenient store is more and more denser, the profits that a franchise store can earn become less. Therefore, franchisee must seriously choose the location and escape from hyper-centralized areas.

    First of all, the reviewer inquires the title of the report because the original one “Journalistic Writing 1”looks not attractive at all. The writer is also recommended to change her wording such as density, convenienct store, success-creativity and so on. It is considered that it will be better to focus on the creativity of convenience stores by mentioning their newly offered services like printing, paying bills or ATM. At the end of our discussion, we think when it comes to the leading figure of convenience stores, 7-11’s high quality self-made products and the easy card shows why they dominate over others.

  3. Convenient Store Becomes the Biggest Chain Store- Diversified Services Lead To Success
    BY APPLE LIU
    Convenient stores not only sell "convenience", but also offer diversified service for customers.

    Can you imagine the concentration ratio of convenient stores in Taiwan is the greatest of all the world?
    According to statistics, the concentration ratio of convenient stores in Taiwan is the greatest of all the world. The quantity of convenient stores has been over 9300, and the amount is lasting increasing. Among several corporations, 7-11 is the greatest chain store of convenient stores, and the second and the third individually is FamilyMart and Hi-Life. In a metropolis, it is a common phenomenon that there are at least three convenient stores in the same street.

    The path leads to success: diversified services
    In the past, convenient stores sold merchandise only; however, nowadays, they not only sell “convenience”, but also diversified services. In addition to selling articles for daily use, you can pick up your online merchandise, pay the bill, printing your document, draw money from ATM, and so on. Some certain stores set seats that customers can make a deal and take a rest; it also offers a rest room and temporary parking lot for long-distance traveler. Through these diversified services, they successfully attract customers to enter convenient stores and it usually leads to additional profits that customers may buy other merchandise in passing.

    Create a brand image
    If merchandise would like to make customers impressive, brand image is a rather vital factor. Take 7-11 for example, they create a person, OPEN將,who helps 7-11 make enormous profits. His colorful head which is orange, green and red color stands for its signboard. Besides, they create an electronic purse-“icash” which can store money in advance and offer some discounts. The person who has “icash” will seldom shop in other convenient stores. Therefore, more and more people apply for “icash” and so far, over four billion customers in Taiwan have “icash”. By OPEN將 and “icash”, 7-11 dominants over others and becomes the biggest chain store in Taiwan.
