In today's world, with a declining birthrate and an aging population, and the spread of self-medication, people are likely to have higher expectations of nearby drugstores where they can feel safe consulting about maintaining and improving their own and their family's health and beauty.However, the drugstore industry is in an era of deregulation, reorganization and selection, and the business environment is becoming increasingly severe.
Based on our management philosophy of "bringing richness and comfort to our customers' lives," we strive to create attractive stores that are trusted by local communities, and have enabled us to grow our group to have more than 2,500 stores.
Although the business environment remains tough, our Group will continue to aggressively expand our stores with the goal of achieving "sales of 1.6 trillion yen and 2,750 stores in the fiscal year ending May 2025." We also aim to continue growing by contributing to the local community through "health" and "beauty," so that we can provide healthy and prosperous lives to everyone in the area.
