Schools in Japan are transitioning from traditional on-campus kiosks to modern convenience stores, much to the delight of students. This switch is due to schools realizing that students require more diverse needs that convenience stores can provide compared to traditional kiosks. The new convenience stores offer a variety of goods, including prepared meals, stationery, and even household items.

In Japan, schools are frequently seen as places of discipline and tradition, and thus the concept of having a modern convenience store within a school can seem somewhat novel. However, because Japanese students tend to spend a significant amount of time at school due to club activities and supplementary classes, the convenience stores meet students' diverse needs more effectively. The introduction of these stores could be seen as a reflection of changing attitudes not only to convenience but also to the role and atmosphere of schools.

In the United States or the European Union, on-campus stores aren't as common due to differences in the school structure, different school hours, and the prevalence of off-campus shops. When present, most school stores in these regions are often run by students and is more focused towards selling school merchandise rather than everyday items.
