The presence of 7-Eleven in Jakarta is not only questioned the city government, but also the Jakarta local parliament. Convenience stores used for hangout of young children Jakarta is so different from those in other countries.
"On the 7-Eleven Singapore is minimarket concepts, but why in Indonesia is different could be a restaurant?" said a member of City Council Commission B, S Andika, while talking to AFP on Tuesday (02/14/2012).
According to Andie, there should be a clear decisiveness about licensing. He added, with licensing of this restaurant, 7-Eleven is free to spread to all places. Of course this is a problem for SMEs, or a traditional grocery shop. Actually, when this is not the only 7-Eleven are a concern but also a minimarket.
"We asked for permission as 7-Eleven is located at the Tourism Office again. We also want the existence of such mini-store is not shut down a small shop owned by the community," he explained.
Andie criticized the city government that is often easily poured permission for the construction of a minimarket in some areas. Should be considered with the condition of society.
