Risks identified by the company
Securing franchise owners (likelihood of materialization: high / short to medium term)
Securing sites for new stores (likelihood of materialization: high / short term)
Related businesses (likelihood of materialization: medium / medium to long term)
Weather and climate conditions (likelihood of materialization: medium / short term)
Recruiting and developing human resources (likelihood of materialization: high / medium to long term)
Reason for revision or withdrawal
Nationwide lack of rainfall and record-high sunshine hours resulted in extremely difficult weather conditions for laundry operations. To increase sales at existing stores, the Company prioritized strengthening campaigns and other initiatives, adding laundry equipment in stores, and carrying out full-scale renovation work, and was unable to secure sufficient human resources for new store openings toward the end of the fiscal year.

The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The decline in the number of new store openings against the initial plan for the fiscal year ended December 2025 was attributed to unusually difficult weather conditions for laundry operations caused by a nationwide lack of rainfall and record-high sunshine hours, the prioritization of measures to increase sales at existing stores, and the inability to secure sufficient human resources for new store openings toward the end of the fiscal year.
