Ministop Co., Ltd. (ミニストップ株式会社, Minisutoppu Kabushiki-gaisha) (TYO: 9946), a member of ÆON, operates the Ministop convenience store franchise chain in Japan.

Products
The usual Japanese convenience store goods are available, such as magazines, manga comic books, soft drinks, contraceptives, onigiri ; services include bill payment, photocopying, ticket purchase for events and ATM access. Ministop also has its own unique brand of fast food. The menu varies according to season and periodical promotions. A typical selection might include hot dogs, sandwiches, frozen desserts such as soft serve ice cream, kariman and chūkaman—Siopao-style buns with various fillings. Ministop also operates in South Korea, the Philippines (under Robinsons Malls[2]), Indonesia, China, Vietnam and Kazakhstan.[3][4]
