■Recruitment Background

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 centered on flagship stores worldwide.Our goal is not merely to increase the number of stores, but to open locations where each store can operate successfully based on local characteristics and customer needs. The role required of each store varies depending on its location, scale, and surrounding environment, and the key to business growth lies in whether each store can deliver optimal value to its local community.

■Department Overview
Within our group, store expansion strategy is synonymous with business growth strategy. The customer shopping experience is significantly shaped by where we locate our stores—which serve as points of contact with customers—and the concepts we implement. Ultimately, we pursue store development that contributes to local communities and urban planning by creating “destination stores” that attract people to the area, as well as by serving as local infrastructure, thereby improving the local community.
