Initiatives for local communities
Initiatives for local communities ―
Role as a part of social infrastructure and promotion of regional development
The Shimamura Group strives to stably provide clothes that serve as a daily necessity in order to play a role as a part of social infrastructure in clothing sales.
In addition, we support and offer donations to sports, cultural and educational events to promote regional development.
Role as a part of social infrastructure
As a part of social infrastructure in clothing sales, the Shimamura Group has constructed a dominant store network of about 2,200 stores and a proprietary distribution network to support those stores. This enables us to stably supply products throughout Japan. In addition, we are working to improve the convenience for local residents by opening stores in small commercial areas. We are also contributing to job creation in communities by opening multiple stores. In the event of a disaster or emergency, we will continue to operate stores as much as possible to support life in the community by developing a business continuity structure.
Shima Sapo (shopping support service)
The Shimamura Group provides a shopping support service. The aim of this service is to make shopping fun for those who don't live near a clothing store and don't have many opportunities to go shopping for clothes on a daily basis as well as those living in facilities where it is difficult to go out shopping.
We will run this program in the fashion center Shimamura business across Japan (excluding some stores) from FY2024.
Travel sale
This is a shopping support service in which Shimamura goes to local government facilities and nursing care facilities to provide opportunities for the residents and those living in facilities to enjoy shopping.Shopping tours
Our shopping tours are designed to support shopping for those living in nursing care facilities or facilities for people with disabilities so that they can visit Shimamura stores and enjoy shopping.
We provide a service in which we open our stores one hour earlier and make them reserved for exclusive use. This means it is possible to shop at leisure before stores are opened without having to worry about other customers.
Facilities where we provided this service in FY2024 (examples)
1.Travel sale
2.Shopping tours
Sell products for seniors through our online store
In addition to face-to-face support such as "mobile sales" and "shopping tours," in 2023 we began selling products for seniors on the Shimamura Online Store so that people can enjoy shopping at any time, regardless of where they live or their physical condition.
In order to meet the diverse range of needs, in addition to underwear for people receiving care, we have expanded our lineup to include items such as functional clothing that is easy to put on and take off, and products for facility staff.
Shimamura's official bulk purchase online shopping site "ShimaSapo ChokuTokubin"
As a new initiative for our online store, we launched the "ShimaSapo ChokuTokubin" website in 2025, which is dedicated to bulk purchases.
The service allows customers to order nursing care products and daily necessities in bulk at Shimamura's reliable prices and have them delivered directly to a facility or home. We also provide a service that receives product requests from customers.
Shimamura Women's Track & Field Club
The Shimamura Women's Track and Field Club started its activities in 2003 with the aim of contributing to the local community through corporate sports. The club continues activities mainly in Saitama Prefecture.
The aim is to produce athletes who can compete on the world stage by participating in various Japanese and international events, such as the All-Japan Women's Corporate Ekiden Championship and Japanese marathons.
