Lawson, Inc.

Lawson, Inc. was a chain of convenience stores. Originally founded in the state of Ohio in the United States of America, they were bought out for Dairy Mart and later Circle K in 2002, although the chain eventually returned to the States in the form of Lawson, Inc. Hawaii. It was also one of the more popular convenience store chains in Japan, alongside 7-11.

Relation to the Metal Gear series
Lawson, Inc. was one of the places people could pre-order the Big Boss bundle for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker during the game's development. Preordering the bundle allowed the one who purchased it to access an exclusive passcode that would, upon being inputted into the PSN network, unlock both an exclusive T-shirt using the logo for Lawson, Inc. (alongside a soldier recruit), but also, similar to the Western releases of the Entertainment Pack of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, unlock the Stealth Gun early.
