サミット announced on 7 September that it had entered into a business transfer agreement to transfer the assets and related rights associated with its 21-store "コルモピア" apparel business to しまむら. The agreement was signed on 2 September.
Following the transfer, the stores covered by the agreement will operate as しまむら stores. After considering several options on the assumption that the provision of everyday apparel would continue, the companies decided to proceed with the transfer. The transfer will be carried out in stages on a store-by-store basis and is expected to be completed by March 2027.
Under the plan, the コルモピア store network is expected to be maintained under しまむら's operation, with all 21 stores moving to a new operating structure as part of the transfer.
