「We are shifting our focus from prioritizing takeout-only restaurants during the COVID-19 pandemic to opening pre-pandemic general restaurants under the “すし銚子丸,” “すし銚子丸 雅” and “江戸前すし百萬石” formats. In addition, we will systematically carry out effective large-scale refurbishments focused on increasing seating capacity, improving workflow, upgrading the brand image and reducing labor requirements, with the aim of building a balanced earnings base across new and existing restaurants.」

「To meet growing demand for takeout and delivery services, we launched the “すし銚子丸　テイクアウト専門店” as a sister brand and opened 3 new restaurants. As demand for takeout and delivery is expected to continue expanding, we plan to actively open restaurants, primarily in urban areas.」

「In store development, during the cumulative third-quarter period, we opened 2 of the above-mentioned takeout-only restaurants. Meanwhile, we closed 鮨Ｙａｓｕｋｅ大手町プレイス店 in October 2020 because the office-building population had fallen sharply with the expansion of remote work, and profitability was expected to be difficult to improve in response to structural changes in business styles prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We also closed すし銚子丸船橋店 in February 2021 to improve operating efficiency. As a result, the number of restaurants at the end of the third quarter was 93.」

「In store development, during the cumulative second-quarter period, we opened the above-mentioned 初台店, a takeout-only restaurant, in August 2020. Meanwhile, we closed 鮨Ｙａｓｕｋｅ大手町プレイス店 in October 2020 because the office-building population had fallen sharply with the expansion of remote work, and improvement was expected to be difficult even after reviewing the earnings model. As a result, the number of restaurants at the end of the second quarter was 93.」

「For the fiscal year ending May 2021, given the uncertainty surrounding the impact of the spread of COVID-19, we plan to consider opening restaurants on a case-by-case basis during the period if properties with favorable locations and other conditions become available.」

「As part of our development of new formats, we opened 鮨Ｙａｓｕｋｅ大手町プレイス店 in Otemachi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, in December 2018 as our first new business model, entering large central-city office buildings with a standing sushi format. In addition, while retaining the authentic Edomae sushi style that is a strength of “すし銚子丸,” we opened 3 restaurants in April 2019 under the “すし銚子丸 雅” sister brand, an evolved format incorporating systems suited to the current era: イオンスタイル幕張ベイパーク店 in Mihama-ku, Chiba; アトレ松戸店 in Matsudo, Chiba; and アリオ亀有店 in Katsushika-ku, Tokyo.」

Going forward, we plan to continue opening restaurants under a dominant-market strategy, primarily at roadside locations across these 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures. We also plan to actively consider opening new restaurants in central Tokyo.」

「As of 15 May 2017, the company had 93 stores in total, comprising 35 stores in Chiba Prefecture, 36 in Tokyo, 16 in Saitama Prefecture and 6 in Kanagawa Prefecture. All stores were directly operated under the “Sushi Choshimaru” and “Edomae Sushi Hyakumangoku” formats.

It also plans to actively consider opening new stores in central Tokyo.」

「Regarding store expansion, the company will limit new openings to carefully selected locations, mainly in highly efficient central urban areas, that offer suitable profitability.」

「During the cumulative period through the second quarter, the company opened new stores in Kiba in September 2016 and Komae in November 2016.」

「The company will follow its dominant-store strategy, incorporating this successful example into its criteria for selecting new store locations, and promote steady new store openings by targeting regional expansion across Tokyo and 3 neighboring prefectures and areas lacking stores.」
