Aista Inc. New Business Format Reuse Shop "i-spot" Aista Inc. (Headquarters: Saitama Prefecture) will open a new reuse shop, "i-spot," on July 1, 2026 (Wed), located a 1-minute walk from the west exit of Tsuruse Station on the Tobu Tojo Line. On the same date, Koji Oritate assumed the position of Representative Director and President, marking the start of a new management system. i-spot, born as the first step of the new system, is a consultation-based reuse shop with the concept of "Turning 'Trouble' into 'Good,'" dedicated to addressing the daily challenges of each customer. Going beyond the conventional image of a reuse shop as merely a place to sell unwanted items, i-spot aims to be a community-based "living consultation service" that carefully handles everyday concerns such as "I don't know where to start consulting" or "Is this something I can consult about?" From Reuse Shop to "Living Consultation Service" A buying and consultation counter will be established, welcoming customers to consult anytime. In recent years, the reuse market has continued to expand, driven by rising prices and increased environmental awareness. The choice to "sell" or "reuse" unwanted items instead of discarding them has become common, and many people now utilize reuse services. However, the consultations received from customers have become increasingly diverse. Troubled by tidying up due to moving Wanting to dispose of large furniture Wanting to replace home appliances Wanting to consult about遺品整理 (sorting belongings of the deceased) or 生前整理 (pre-death tidying) Wanting to have items appraised whose value is unknown These requests have been increasing year by year, and many cases cannot be resolved by simple buying services alone. Aista Inc. has established i-spot as a place where customers can easily consult, responding to these changing times. Specialized staff will carefully listen to each customer's story and, utilizing the group's services, will guide them to the optimal solution
