Shuttered shopping streets. Independent shops closing due to lack of successors. An aging workforce, labor shortages, and rising material costs—opening a new store locally has never been more difficult. Many aspiring shop owners dream big but cannot take the first step, either because they can’t find reliable contractors or are deterred by high renovation costs.

Omise no Kumitate (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tadashi Kamiya), a company specializing in AI-powered store design and interior construction, is launching a new Partner Program to connect with local contractors nationwide and transform this situation.

For a registration fee of 2,200 JPY (tax included), contractors can become an 'Omise no Kumitate Certified Partner' and gain priority access to interior construction projects in their local area that Omise no Kumitate has acquired.

Why a 'Certified Partner' Program Now?

Local contractors who know their region are the final backbone of store construction.

Local climate, foot traffic, and customer flow—these are things local craftsmen understand intuitively, beyond what blueprints can convey. Yet, many of these technically skilled contractors remain overlooked, unable to focus on sales and marketing, and thus miss out on quality projects.

To address this, we propose a clear division of roles.

Omise no Kumitate handles customer acquisition, sales, design, and PR, while local contractors and craftsmen can focus entirely on what they do best—building.

As a Certified Partner, you’ll automatically receive project leads from Omise no Kumitate’s nationwide pipeline, specifically matching your service area. Even contractors with limited sales resources can now access projects—simply by having solid technical skills. This program creates a platform where hidden craftsmanship finally gets the spotlight it deserves.

Omise no Kumitate has leveraged cutting-edge AI and BIM technology to streamline the entire process from design to construction, significantly reducing project timelines and costs for retail interiors. By integrating the technical expertise of local contractors into this system, we can now deliver 'fast, affordable, and reliable' construction services anywhere in Japan.

This Certified Partner Program is not a typical franchise recruitment. It’s an initiative to reconnect local craftsmanship with nationwide project demand, restoring the fading ability to 'build stores' back into the hands of local communities.
