    Lawson was founded by JJ Lawson in 1939. At first, Lawson started his business by establishing a milk shop on Broad Street, at Cuyahoga Fallas, Ohio. The shop was originally named Mr. Lawson’s Milk Store. In 1959, Lawson's was acquired as a Consolidated Food subsidiary, and Lawson’s became a network of retail stores. In 1974 the Japanese supermarket chain Daiei collaborated with Consolidated Foods. Both founded Daiei Lawson in April 1975. The first store in Japan was opened on June 14, 1975, in Minami, Sakurazuka, Toyonaka-shi, Osaka. The first shop at that time, sold American-themed party food and was very different from Lawson's store today. And in 1996, from the name Daiei Convenience System, Co.Ltd changed to Lawson, Inc. In February 2000, Lawson formed a business alliance with Mitsubishi Corporation. In May 2011, Lawson opened its 10,000th store in Japan. And it didn't stop there, until September 2103 Lawson had 11,455 stores in Japan (Wikipedia). After success in Japan, then working on the Chinese market in the city of Shanghai, Lawson, the top Japanese retailer, collaborated with retailers in Indonesia, by cooperating with PT. Midi Utama Indonesia Tbk. On June 20, 2011. Through the first outlet in Kemang on July 26, 2011, Lawson has now grown to 43 * outlets with locations in Jakarta, Tangerang, Bekasi, Depok and Bogor. (* February 2019). On August 1, 2018 Lawson Indonesia broke away from PT. Midi Utama Indonesia Tbk by establishing a new company, namely PT LANCAR WIGUNA SEJAHTERA. Which was officially established on October 1, 2018.

    Pengalaman program *Trainee di lawson
    The good thingsWaktu di awal perusahaan masih baik-baik, bener-bener di Training terus juga dapat makan sama minum gratis. Trainernya lumayan bagus, HR juga waktu masuk friendly banget. Kerjanya jg banyak tidurnya karna tokonya sepi jadi enak hehe..
    The challengesBeban kerjanya tinggi, manajemen buruk dan tidak pandai memberikan solusi permasalahan hanya bisa memarahi dan memaki. SDM perusahaan rendah dan tidak berkompeten. Jam kerja 10 jam bahkan lebih tidak sebanding dengan gaji pokok dan tunjangan. Perusahaan sengaja memberikan tekanan supaya mendapatkan uang dari penalty yang diberikan jika keluar dari program percepatan
