Note that "convenience" is a noun, not an adjective. It is possible (and very common) in English to use a noun to modify another noun. So, a conbini is a "convenience store," not a "convenient store."

Note: This usage shows what type of store it is. You can say "a convenient store" if you just want to indicate that a certain store is convenient.

Daiei is a convenient store for me; it's close to my house and it has everything that I usually need.
