New corona infection spreads and refrain from going out due to spread of infection. April 4 4:13 on April 4
As the spread of the new coronavirus spreads, people are refraining from going out, and so-called `` nesting consumption '' to enjoy the way of staying at home, such as training and cooking, has become active, and mass retailers are focusing on sales. .
At mass retailers such as home appliances and miscellaneous goods, the number of customers, including foreign tourists, has recently dropped sharply, but products that are conscious of "nesting consumption" to enjoy how to spend at home are attracting attention. Companies are strengthening sales.
Among them, electronics retailers in Yurakucho, Tokyo, are seeing growing demand for appliances that can be used for easy strength training at home and board games that can be enjoyed together by the family.
Also, at a large general store in Shibuya, Tokyo, when cooking at home, there are containers that can be cooked just by heating in a microwave oven without using fire, and highly airtight bags to keep rice and vegetables fresh. In addition to the demand for convenient products, bath salts for relaxing at home are selling relatively well.
Mr. Yui Takahashi, Loft spokeswoman, said, "The sales of the entire store are severe, but we want to strengthen the creation of an environment where people can shop online from home, so that they can lead to sales."
