The Shimamura Group operates a chain of general clothing and apparel stores throughout Japan and Taiwan.　Our management philosophy is to play a role as social infrastructure in the clothing sales sector, while raising the standard of daily fashion and improving lifestyles and culture across the nation by selling high-quality, stylish, and affordable products at Shimamura's reliable prices.

Currently, we operate six businesses both in Japan and overseas, including our mainstay Fashion Center Shimamura business, with a total of 2,200 stores, as well as our own online store.
Consistently dedicated to bringing excitement into everyday life, we offer customers an exciting selection of products and sales locations, and many customers visit our stores every day to enjoy shopping.　Once again, we would like to thank you very much for your continued support.

Within the Medium-Term Management Plan that launched last year, we set our basic policy as "The Next Challenge: Pursuing Further Growth."　By having each employee take on various challenges using their own creativity and ingenuity, we are working to improve the performance of existing stores and expand the scale of our business through aggressive new store openings, further reinforcing the strengths of the Shimamura Group.

Last year, in the first year of the Plan, we adopted the unifying theme of "The Next Challenge 1st: Changing the Obvious."　All departments changed their previous thinking about what was "the obvious" and took on new challenges, including how we manufacture products, how we present our sales floors, our organization and human resource development, systems, and site development, and more.

This year marks the second year of our Medium-Term Management Plan, with our unifying theme being "The Next Challenge 2nd: Pushing Ourselves to Greater Heights," as we strive to push our limits even further through diverse challenges.　By challenging and evolving on a daily basis the ideas and systems that we once considered correct, as our potential continues to expand, we are building a foundation for the future.

Furthermore, our long-term mission is to build a "good company" for employees, customers, business partners, society, and shareholders.　Going forward, we will continue to manage our business with integrity based on our management philosophy, with the aim of being a good company for all stakeholders.
