Lawson Launches 24 "Extra-Big" and "Extra-Rich" Food Items at Same Price
Listen to the story
Lawson is a big convenience store chain in Japan. It is making 24 new food products.
Lawson calls this plan the "Super Happy Challenge." The store wants customers to feel happy.
21 products will be bigger. They will have about 50% more food. But the price stays the same.
3 other products will taste more rich. This means the flavor is stronger.
The new products will come from a store called Lawson 100. This is their second big size plan.
Some new items are sandwiches and chicken bento boxes. A bento is a Japanese lunch box.
The products start selling from November 17. They will come out one by one, not all at once.
Lawson hopes people will enjoy more food for the same money.
