New Combini coming to Toka

a couple of weeks ago, the Orange Heart combini (convenience store) down the road closed and work started to re-fit the interior. When I passed today, I saw that the new owners are turning it into a Lawsons! "Big wows" I hear you sarcasticly think. But, your see, Tokamachi is a one franchise town. We have stacks of 7-Elevens (well, five if you include the one in Nakasato) and a Daily Yamazki hidden in the back streets somewhere, but that's all. It be nice to have a bit more variety and also, combinis have these magic, internet-connected photocopiers that allow you to buy and print tickets for allsorts of events (sports events, cinema, museums, concerts etc). By having a Lawsons, we also get another ticket vendor in town. Which reminds me, I should book my SummerSonic Tickets before they all sell out (I think all the 2 day tickets have gone already, damn!)
