Lawson expands its RV Park camper-van network to 75 stores, reaching Tokyo for the first time
Lawson, Inc. is turning 26 more of its own store car parks into paid overnight camper-van spots from November 13, taking its "RV Park" network to 75 convenience stores in 16 prefectures and putting Tokyo and Kanagawa on the map for the first time -- a concrete new use for Japanese convenience-store real estate as the country's registered camper fleet hits a record.
Lawson, Inc. (株式会社ローソン) said it will expand its "RV Park" (RVパーク) overnight camper-van parking service by 26 locations, taking the network to 75 convenience stores across 16 prefectures, according to a November 6 announcement. The service, run with security-equipment maker Glory Ltd. (グローリー株式会社) and the Japan RV Association (日本RV協会), lets drivers of recreational vehicles book a store's car park overnight through the dedicated site RV-Park.jp.
