AEON RETAIL will open AEON STYLE SHIN-MATSUDO (Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture; hereinafter referred to as "the store") on Wednesday, July 15. As a "Food & Drug" store featuring a food sales floor, health & beauty care sales floor, and dispensing pharmacy, the store will provide convenient products and services that enrich the lives of local customers. The predecessor to this store opened as DAI-EI SHIN-MATSUDO in November 1981, and was renamed AEON FOOD STYLE SHIN-MATSUDO in August 2019. It has been supported by the local community for approximately 44 years. Now, it is reborn as AEON STYLE SHIN-MATSUDO, operated by our company. The store is located about an 8-minute walk from Shin-Matsudo Station, where the JR Musashino Line and Joban Line intersect. The area has high commuter convenience and many nursery schools and kindergartens, leading to an increase in families with children and single individuals. Additionally, many seniors who have lived in the area for many years also reside here. As a core store in a shopping center, the store will enhance its offerings for families with children with easy-to-use food and drug items, and will expand its selection of cosmetics popular with Gen Z, as a university is located adjacent to the store. Furthermore, we will expand our selection of fresh foods and prepared meals, offering new value in terms of quality, taste, and the joy of choosing to a wide range of customers, from young people to seniors. The store will respond to the diverse needs of the community more than ever before. ◆ 2nd Floor Food Sales Floor: Enhanced Fresh Foods & Delicatessen.
