What gave rise to convenience stores in Korea? Strange to say, it was in 1982 when a nationwide curfew was abolished. To be more accurate, it was at midnight Jan. 15, 1982 when the 37-year-long curfew imposed since South Korea was liberated from Japanese colonial in 1945 was finally lifted.

the first franchise convenience store was introduced to the Korean market. The first branch of 7-Eleven opened at Olympic Seonsuchon Apartment in eastern Seoul in May 1989. The convenience store business in Korea started some 60 years later than in the United States and 20 years later in Japan.
