Skylark Holdings continues to face a difficult business situation, with monthly sales dropping by more than 20% from the previous year due to the impact of the new coronavirus.
For this reason, the company has decided to close about 200 stores including "Jonathan" by the end of next year in order to rebuild its management.
On the other hand, the number of stores reduced as a whole will be about 120 due to the opening of new stores that are expected to be profitable.
In addition, the company plans to convert more than 60 stores to "Gusto," which provides its own home delivery service, and to capture the "needing demand" caused by the new coronavirus to strengthen profitability.
The company has a policy of not reducing the number of employees due to the closing of the store, and will maintain employment by relocating employees to the newly established store or department that inspects equipment.
The restaurant industry has been hit hard by the spread of infection, and the beef bowl chain "Yoshinoya Holdings" has announced the closure of up to 150 stores, and the major family restaurant "Royal Holdings" has also decided to close 70 stores. , The review of the store network is spreading.
