It's a small world

I wasn’t surprised that there are McDonalds and Starbucks in Japan but I was certainly surprised to see the following American restaurants  and stores in Japan.

There are also about 578 Denny's restaurants in Japan.

Big Boy Japan owns and operates 296 locations throughout Japan under four restaurant names: Big Boy (199 stores), Milky Way (50), Victoria Station (43), and Grill Dan (4). From what I have read there are not many Bob’ s  Big Boy left in the US. In Japan eating beef burger is a favorite dining experience.

There are several small convenience stores in Japan and I remember several when I was living here back in the late 60’s but then they tended to be family owned. Here are some that we all know and stopped by to buy our Slurpees in the US. 

It is a small world after all.
