Business Plan and Growth Potential

The medium- to long-term growth strategy was updated from the previous materials. New store openings have been reduced from approximately 8-10 stores per year to approximately 3 stores per year, with the focus shifted to strengthening the profitability of existing stores. As KPIs for three years from now, the company set targets of increasing average annual sales per existing 久世福商店 store to 1.2 times the FY3/26 level and the number of loyal customers to 2.5 times the FY3/26 level.
