Muji will open its largest store in Kashihara City, located in Japan’s Nara Prefecture, on March 1.
The Japanese variety retailer is set to unveil the expanded Muji Aeon Mall Kashihara, the sales floor area of which will be about 10 times larger than the previous store that closed last November.
The venue will offer a wide range of food, clothing, and home products. It will also have a workshop to repair, maintain, and sell second-hand furniture from Japan and overseas, making it a new resource circulation base.
Another highlight is the Books and Cafe, featuring over 100,000 books from Kashihara Bookstore and rice bowls, coffee, tea, and ice cream from Cafe&Meal Muji.
Earlier, Ryohin Keikaku executive vice-president and director Satoshi Shimizu delivered a new management policy plan for Muji, underscoring the lifestyle brand’s ambition to pursue its “second founding” via global expansion.
