Kurume City has signed an agreement with 7-Eleven Japan to collaborate on elderly support initiatives and the development of new products using local agricultural produce. The partnership includes monitoring elderly residents through 7-Eleven’s delivery services and promoting community revitalization.
Starting February 20, 7-Eleven stores in Kurume will sell reimagined versions of popular local pastries and hot dogs from a former local bakery. Kurume Mayor Haraguchi expressed hopes that the initiative would benefit the community by leveraging 7-Eleven’s resources. Source: NHK
