Ito-Yokado decides or considers closing 6 stores in the Tokyo metropolitan area due to structural reforms. The company has continued to perform poorly, with its financial results for the year ending February last year posting a final deficit for three consecutive years.
It is proceeding with structural reforms, including a significant reduction in the number of stores, and has already withdrawn from Hokkaido and Tohoku. We are solidifying our policy. It means going. It's time to close the stores.
