Plan to open six stores by 2024. It was announced on the 21st. We will jointly develop a total floor area of ​​66,000 square meters, which consists of electronics retailers, home improvement stores, housing exhibition halls, food supermarkets, etc. from next year. The image consists of about 13,000 square meters in Yamada, and Arkland is about 20,000 square meters. "The home centers and mass retailers) will become developers and develop and operate on this scale (Arkland Sakamoto). The housing exhibition hall mainly develops a smart house. Approximately 5,000 square meters will be exhibited, and Yamada Holmes and Hinokiya Group houses will be exhibited. The specialty store has about 3300 square meters, and is assumed to be opened for select shops that handle restaurants and interior goods. The supermarket also develops on a scale of 3300 square meters. Yamada will open a store in June this year, a large new business store, Tech Life Select, which opened the first store in Kumamoto City. It is a store that displays home appliances and non -home appliances, half the sales floor.

Aiming for synergy, taking advantage of the products and strengths of both companies

　The collaboration complex is based on Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture around February 2010, Hachioji City, Tokyo, Hiratsuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture and Nono City, Kanagawa Prefecture in 2013, and in 2014, Suzaka City and Ibaraki City, Nagano Prefecture in 2010. Plan to open a store. "There is a land for six stores" (Arkland Sakamoto). Arkland will develop "Musashi" and "Viva Home" as a home improvement store, but stores in Ishikawa and Nagano will open in Musashi, and otherwise will be Viva Home. The store will have solar power generation, and will have emergency self -power generation and water supply equipment so that it can be used as a local disaster prevention base. Aichi Prefecture and Tokyo, which plan to open a store in 2010, will not have a housing exhibition hall. In Yamada and Arkland, some products will overlap, but we want to make synergies by proceeding with the division of roles. In this business alliance, Yamada opened a tenant at the Arkland store. Most recently, there is "Techlandm Sashi Himeji" (Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture), which opened on the 17th of this month. The business alliance is also "realized with a sense of speed" (Yamada HD). For Yamada, which has 30 large stores a year, mainly new business stores, a business alliance with Arkland is likely to have a significant meaning in future stores.
