Skylark Holdings announced that it had closed its Gusto Higashi-Kawaguchi store in Midori Ward, Saitama, and plans to open a new-format Italian restaurant, “Peltika,” on the site. The current store mix in the prefecture is expected to comprise 85 Gusto stores and 2 Peltika stores, while the opening date for Peltika has not been decided.
Skylark Holdings closed its Gusto Higashi-Kawaguchi store on 4 November.
A new-format Italian restaurant, “Peltika,” is scheduled to open on the site, with the concept of “an Italian restaurant that had never existed, although it seemed like it should.”
Peltika features an open, resort-style space and an open kitchen, while the nearby Gusto Kawaguchi-Ishigami store will continue operating.
The number of stores currently operating in the prefecture is expected to be 85 for Gusto and 2 for Peltika, with no specific opening date set.
