A global convenience store chain has ended its retail operations in a country after nearly five years. The Japanese owner confirmed that all remaining stores were closed. This move comes after a partnership with a retail company ended.

The chain had expanded to around 60 outlets at its peak. However, the number of stores had decreased to 31 before they were closed.

Further details about the closure are available from the source, including the circumstances surrounding the end of the partnership and the closure of the stores.
