7-ELEVEN unveils another innovative store concept. Following the global sensation of its first-ever “brand collaboration store” launched in March this year, it has now teamed up with Japan’s wildly popular “Kanonhana’s Little Animals” and American snack giant “Lay’s” to create a globally unique brand collaboration store across the seas.

The two brand collaboration stores — “Kanonhana’s Little Animals” and “Lay’s” — are located in Taipei’s bustling Nanjing and Ximending districts, popular among office workers and tourists alike. Prepared over a year with investments exceeding one million NTD, each store’s design concept and materials were repeatedly discussed with the overseas original brands. Focusing on three core concepts — experience, entertainment, and education — the designs extend from the storefront to every detail inside, including tables, chairs, floors, ceilings, and counters. These not only faithfully convey the brands’ creative ideas and styles but also showcase 7-ELEVEN’s innovative approach to managing large-format stores over 40 ping.

The brand collaboration stores are built around the 3Es — Experience, Entertainment, and Education. The first wave partners with three major brands: “Coca-Cola,” “Heineken,” and “Maserati,” transforming the stores into an American diner, a wine bar, and a luxury sports car boutique, respectively. This offers a completely new shopping experience unlike traditional outlets, not only meeting everyday needs but also adding fun to the visit.

The 7-ELEVEN “Kanonhana’s Little Animals” collaboration store creates a dreamy fairy-tale world, designed around the concept of happy picnics with friends. It also features an exclusive CITY CAFE x Kanonhana’s Little Animals collaborative cup, with warm messages from P助 and the pink bunny printed on it, fully showcasing the imaginative universe of creator Kanahei.

The 7-ELEVEN “Lay’s” collaboration store breaks the mold with a relaxed, casual American sports style. The standing dining counter is designed like a fun board game, and for the first time, it sells Lay’s skateboards priced at over ten thousand NTD, among more than 30 other unique items, making 7-ELEVEN the hottest tourist photo spot this summer.
