1
There are more than 60 ,000 7 -Elevens across the planet.
2
But there is one country where the convenience store chain flopped.
3
Indonesia.
4
In 2017, the chain of mini markets closed all of its stores there.
5
Here's why 7 -Eleven failed in Indonesia.
6
Let's go back to 2009, when 7 -Eleven got its start in the country.
7
7 -Eleven's Indonesian rollout was run by a local operator, PT Modern International.
8
Contrary to its American counterpart that capitalized on to -go items and late -night munchies, 7 -Eleven in Indonesia became a trendy hangout spot for locals.
9
It offered traditional 7 -Eleven items like Slurpees and snacks, but also fresh local food and alcohol.
10
7 -Eleven was very popular with university students, clearly the 18 to 25 age range.
11
It was a place for them to hang out at all hours of the day, all hours of the night, Before the alcohol ban that was imposed in 2015,
12
this was a very popular spot to hang out, have a beer after class or after work, have free Wi -Fi, have a bite to eat.
13
As the business took off, Modern soon started to expand within the capital, Jakarta.
14
It opened its 21st store by 2010, and it hit 100 locations in 2012.
15
In 2014, the company hit peak sales of around 78 million with 190 stores.
16
The future of 7 -Eleven in Indonesia seemed promising.
17
The stores remained crowded, but there was one problem.
18
People weren't spending money.
19
Well, actually, there are some comments that, yes, there's a huge crowd in 7 -Eleven, but they might just buy one drink, one fret, and sit for three hours.
20
The company also attributed its lack of sales to intense competition from existing and new competitors.
21
By 2016, the number of retail outlets in Indonesia had grown from 12 ,000 to 40 ,000 in just under a decade,
22
with many markets being the sector's fastest -growing segment.
23
Two of 7 -Eleven's biggest competitors were Indonesian convenience stores Indomerit and Alphamart.
24
Both chains have a long history in the country and are top players in Indonesia's convenience store market.
25
7 -Eleven had 190 stores in the country, but its competitor store count absolutely squashed that.
26
As of 2017, there were more than 10 ,000 Alphamarts and roughly 15 ,000 Indomerits in Indonesia,
27
giving Alphamart a 38 % share of the market and Indomerit 47%.
28
That was the year 7 -Eleven closed all of its shops, but before that, it held just 0 .7 % of the market.
29
Regulatory issues also posed a major problem for 7 -Eleven.
30
In 2015, Indonesia banned the sale of alcoholic beverages in convenience stores and mini -marts.
31
After the alcohol ban took effect, 7 -Eleven's net sales dropped by nearly 24 % over the next year.
32
Unlike 7 -Eleven, its rivals Indomerit and Alphamart actually reported revenue gains that year.
33
Alphamart and Indomerit were able to withstand the ban because they offered a wider range of products and services.
34
7 -Eleven's geographic reach posed another big problem.
35
The convenience store chain never managed to expand beyond Jakarta and its surrounding cities, but its rivals did.
36
of expansions to other cities and regions.
37
Modern also cited Indonesia's economic slowdown as a reason for its diminishing revenue.
38
The chain closed down 25 underperforming stores in 2016 to cut down operation losses, and Modern closed the remainder of its 7 -Eleven stores in 2017.
39
However, a spokesperson from 7 -Eleven said, Indonesia is an important country for us.
40
This is not the end for 7 -Eleven's business.
41
The company is hoping to find a new partner to renew its efforts, And it has good reason to believe the right international partner will make all the difference.
42
Take Japan.
43
7 -Eleven entered the country in 1974.
44
It partnered with Japanese chain Ido Yukato, forming York 7 Company, to operate its stores.
45
It was so successful that in 2005, it bought out the company.
46
7 &I Holdings became the global owner of the American chain.
47
Today, there are more than 20 ,000 7 -Elevens in Japan.
48
The U .S has less than 9 ,000.
49
So seeking a new international partner may be the key to its success.
50
Indonesian consumers will just have to wait and see.

Ideal para mejorar tu comprensión auditiva y práctica de inglés hablado, especialmente en contextos de análisis de mercado.

Vocabulario y frases clave

Consejos para la práctica

Para aprovechar al máximo este video, usa la técnica de shadowing, una herramienta poderosa para mejorar la pronunciación en inglés y la fluidez. Sigue estos pasos: Primero, escucha un fragmento corto (5-10 segundos) y repítelo inmediatamente, imitando el tono, la entonación y la velocidad. El video tiene un ritmo moderado con detalles técnicos, así que presta atención a la articulación de palabras como "convenience store" o "economic slowdown". Segundo, usa un sitio de shadowing o una app de shadowing para grabarte y compararte con el audio original. Esto te ayudará a identificar áreas de mejora. Tercero, enfócate en frases largas, como "Contrary to its American counterpart that capitalized on to-go items...", para practicar la conexión de palabras. Recuerda: la constancia es clave. Dedica 10 minutos al día a esta práctica y verás cómo tu inglés hablado mejora notablemente.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
