I was surprised at both the selection of stuff at a conbini and how they were literally everywhere when I was visiting Japan. Good stuff. Best I got back at home is a single gas station convenience store in walking distance.

I need to check out 7/11 in the US now that I live somewhere they are and know that they're owned by the Japanese branch of the company now. But also, convenience stores in the US are typically just not worth the effort imo. They're more expensive than grocery stores by quite a bit, the pre made food sucks, and they're less likely to be within walking distance than a grocery store in a lot of places.
