CORPORATE PROFILE
Established in April, 1935, we have ever since run our retail
business with our mind centered on the two centerpieces - medications and cosmetics.
We are determined to stay on this long-maintained track of our own that adds up
to our devotion to the enhancement of health and beauty of the people - our perpetual
slogan.
It is obvious in recent years that more and more people are getting health-minded
which fact encourages us to go beyond what we are (We are now nearing unrivalled
280-strong nation-wide array of already wonderful stores), toward selling "even
better products in the milieu ever healthiest and safest", the all-time prerequisite
for the retail establishments, which is what our consumer clients rate ours the
best of all.
Right at present, we are deploying vigorously our plan of not only setting up
as many "Super Drug Stores (the large-scale drug-stores)" as possible
but also as many "prescription pharmacies" as needed to cater to the
hospital patient clients in a bid to contribute also to the area of medication.
With all this combined, we now rank among the top few of the drugs + cosmetics
retail industry echelon when viewed from the point of yearly sales by virtue of
our growing yearly sales.
DEPLOYMENT OF KOKUMIN GROUP STORES
"KOKUMIN"
and "FRENCH"
They, a group of stores specialized in Health and Beauty, carry
a wide range of daily necessities answering to the purpose of being the best places
to shop in with the originality each of them is really proud of. Each of them
per se is intended to suit its neighborhood and its population and therefore has
arrays of goods a bit different from the other stores but most likely to be of
much more need right in there. All these stores combined vie for the top rung
of the sales ladder of the industry. That we have stores throughout the country
like a nation-wide network that is still being expansively deployed in many of
such vantage ground of busy bustling places as main stations' shopping arcades
and buildings meant to be shopping malls in big cities help us stay among the
highest ranking few that partake in the echelon of the industry in re the amount
of yearly sales.
"PRESCRIPTION PHARMACIES"
They are the prescription pharmacies not installed within the
hospital premises conforming to the prescription/dispensing severance ruling.
Presently we have one at each of the mega-hospitals such as Osaka University Hospital,
Kobe University Hospital, National Sagamihara Hospital, National Tokyo Medical
Center, National Tokyo Daini Hospital and Osaka Prefectural Hospital to name only
a few which fact substantiates our extensive service being performed in this area,
too.
"SILK"
They are the large-scale suburban type drug stores that carry a
wide variety of items of every-day necessity catering to the needs of the people
living in many of the rapidly increasing suburban/exurban residential areas where
they are located. The two-off-day-a-week life style now becoming more normalized,
we are exerting ourselves to make our services community-familiar.
