Contribute to the enhancement of consumer life
and lifestyle culture through commerce

Fashion can be said to represent the cultural standards of a country. The Shimamura Group offers products at affordable prices which make fashion easily accessible. Furthermore, we contribute to the enhancement of lifestyle culture by developing a nationwide network of stores for easy shopping. Additionally, we contribute to the stability and improvement of consumer life as a social infrastructure that stably supplies clothing, which is a daily necessity, to local customers.

Maintain high productivity
and appropriate corporate performance

The Shimamura Group has created a highly-productive system based on low-cost operations at each stage of store opening, purchasing, distribution, and sales. We constantly review our entire business with an eye on promoting standardization, simplification, and specialization. We also continue to improve productivity through systematic organization.

Position a global perspective and respect

The foundational concept of management at the Shimamura Group is to respond fairly and equitably to various stakeholders such as employees, customers, business partners, shareholders, and society, and to be accepted by the community as a "good company" anywhere in the world without discrimination based on race, gender, or age.
