In the spring of 2026, Kintetsu Department Store Wakayama Store aims to evolve into a 'value-providing' store that offers the goods, experiences, and services needed by local customers. To achieve this, we will hold a refresh open introducing popular brands making their first appearance in Wakayama Prefecture.

In our Medium-Term Management Plan (FY2025-2028), we position our regional stores as a 'regional infrastructure function' and aim to contribute to the enhancement of regional value. With this renovation at the Wakayama Store, we are driving store development to remain an 'indispensable store' for local residents by introducing lifestyle brands that color daily life.
