Events such as graduation ceremonies have been canceled one after another due to the spread of the new coronavirus, but the company in Niigata City, which rents equipment at the venue, has been greatly affected by the successive cancellations.
In Rentall Niigata, which rents chairs and desks in Chuo-ku, Niigata City, and sets up venues, graduation ceremonies, corporate events, concerts, etc. are being canceled one after another at times when work should increase every year. The company has already had about 50 cancellations, and the loss is expected to be in the tens of millions of yen.
In the warehouse where desks and tents for rent were stored, there were almost all desks, stoves, tents, etc. that would have been rented for events etc. in the past year.
Also, it is not yet decided whether or not to hold an event at the turn of the year from the end of this month, but if this time is also canceled, it is expected that a further loss of tens of millions of yen will be inevitable.
Rentall Niigata's President Shigehito Sakai said, "About two-thirds of the events have already been canceled. There is very little material left in the warehouse, so concerts and events will go well sooner I hope you do that. "
