The company that operates the ramen chain "Korakuen" announced that it will close 51 stores, saying that the impact of typhoon No. 19 in October last year caused a drastic decrease in sales and that it is necessary to establish a system to secure profits.
`` Korakuen Holdings, '' which operates a ramen chain, was temporarily shut down at 244 stores in Tohoku, Kanto, and Koshinetsu, where the main factory in Koriyama, Fukushima Prefecture, which manufactures noodles and soups, was damaged by Typhoon No. 19. .
This means that sales last October were down about 30% from the same month of the previous year.
The company announced that among 478 stores nationwide, it will close 51 stores by April in order to establish a system that can secure profits.
The breakdown is 27 stores in the Tokai region, 14 stores in the Kanto region, and 5 stores in the Tohoku region.
Of these, 30 were closed last month.
Korakuen Holdings says that although the number of stores will decrease with the closing of the store, profits will improve as expenses such as advertising and logistics costs can be reduced.
