「During the cumulative consolidated period covering the first 3 quarters, we opened アカマル屋鮮魚店 溝の口 (Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture) in January 2023.」

「「アカマル屋」 is a small- to medium-sized store located in a suburban area. Even amid the COVID-19 pandemic, it has received strong support from customers, with sales at existing stores exceeding 100% of the corresponding month in 2019, before the pandemic, as shown in the table below. In addition, 「アカマル屋」 had been well received as a casual pub centered on skewered dishes, oden and simmered dishes. To maximize group synergies from our efforts to develop the seafood business across the value chain and return them to customers, we adapted the format and developed the new 「アカマル屋鮮魚店」.」

「In September 2022, we opened 「生もつ焼肉アカマル屋」 in Saitama, Saitama, as a new format. The 「アカマル屋」 business model is a highly efficient, highly profitable brand, and we will continue to open stores aggressively after carefully assessing trading areas and site conditions.」

「During the fiscal year, we closed 40 directly operated stores, including stores that we judged would be difficult to operate profitably due to changes in their trading areas and other factors, in anticipation of a prolonged impact from the spread of COVID-19. As for new openings, we opened 1 「アカマル屋」 store and 1 「焼肉万里」 store, and newly took on the operation of 15 cafeterias in bathing facilities and government facilities under our contract operation business, which requires no substantial investment.」

「With respect to store openings and closures, we opened 1 new 「アカマル屋」 store, which had been refined as a labor-saving model store and qualitatively transformed in the previous fiscal year, while closing 1 store that we judged would be difficult to operate profitably due to changes in its trading area and other factors.」

「In February, we changed 1 「東京チカラめし」 store to 「アカマル屋」. 「アカマル屋」 is also being established as a labor-saving model in preparation for a future in which securing personnel will become more difficult.」
