■ Background of the Opening
Guided by the mission “We Deliver LifeWear,” the Store Development Department drives business growth by expanding the store network for all Fast Retailing Group brands globally. To build a network of stores that embody LifeWear, integrate with local communities, and have a positive social impact, we are promoting strategic store openings worldwide, with a focus on flagship stores.Our goal is not simply to increase the number of stores, but to open locations where each store can operate successfully as an independent entity, taking into account local characteristics and customer needs. The role required of each store varies depending on its location, size, and surrounding environment, and the key to business growth lies in whether each store can deliver optimal value to its local community.
We are seeking talent to drive Fast Retailing’s business growth by adapting to this rapidly changing era—going beyond mere real estate development to create locations from a “market-in” perspective and implementing an expansion strategy that prioritizes the profitability and sustainability of each individual store.

■ Department Overview
Within our Group, store expansion strategy is synonymous with business growth strategy. The customer shopping experience is significantly influenced by where we locate our stores—which serve as touchpoints with customers—and the concepts we apply to them. Ultimately, we pursue store development that contributes to local communities and urban development—such as creating “destination stores” that draw people to the area and serving as part of the local infrastructure—thereby helping to improve local communities.
