CHARGESPOT Installation at Lawson United Cinemas
On April 1, 2026, the mobile battery sharing service CHARGESPOT™ was successfully launched at 38 Lawson United Cinema theaters. This initiative is the result of a collaboration between INFORICH, a leading company in mobile battery sharing based in Shibuya, Tokyo, and Lawson United Cinemas, situated in Shinagawa, Tokyo. Together, they aim to provide moviegoers with a convenient charging environment that enhances their cinema experience.
Movie theaters are known for their lengthy showtimes, which typically range from one and a half to three hours. Attendees often use their smartphones to check tickets, search for transit information, or engage on social media before and after the screening. However, many younger movie-goers have expressed concerns about their phone batteries dying during the film. The lack of charging facilities in theaters has become a pressing issue directly affecting customer satisfaction.
With the installation of CHARGESPOT in 38 theaters, patrons can now fully enjoy both pre-screening moments and post-movie reflections without the anxiety of a dying phone battery. This initiative not only meets the charging needs of the audience but also fosters the usage of this essential service in various long-stay venues, particularly in cinemas.
