The opening of the first FamilyMart outlet in Malaysia in November 2016 will intensify competition in the ready-to-eat segment. The introduction of onigiri by 7-Eleven is seen as one of the steps taken by the leading convenience chain to improve its ready-to-eat offerings to compete in the new environment.
