Business Details
A food service and retail business operating 47 stores across 9 formats (as of the end of FY2026, ending March 2026), primarily in Hokkaido. Consists of two pillars: the Franchisee Business, including Mister Donut and others, and the Original Brand Business centered on the in-house developed "Katsuten" brand. The segment seeks to acquire repeat customers and raise average customer spend through promotions utilizing smartphone apps and social media, as well as the development and rollout of seasonal limited-edition products. During the period, the company newly began operating the "Michi-no-Eki Aioi" under a contract in Tsubetsu-cho, Abashiri-gun, Hokkaido.
Recent Overview
Sales up 5.0% and segment profit up 13.9%, achieving higher sales and profit. Newly began contracted operation of Michi-no-Eki Aioi.
In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the Food Service & Retail Division achieved higher sales and profit, with sales of ¥4,529 million (up 5.0% year on year) and segment profit of ¥176 million (up 13.9% year on year). Although the number of operating stores decreased by one from the prior fiscal year-end to 47 stores, both sales and profit expanded as the company acquired repeat customers through new product launches and sales promotion activities led by franchise headquarters, as well as efficient promotions utilizing social media and apps. In addition, the company newly began the contracted operation of "Michi-no-Eki Aioi" in Tsubetsu-cho, Abashiri-gun, Hokkaido, expanding its business domain. Capital expenditure was ¥126 million, a substantial decrease from ¥215 million in the prior period, suggesting a shift from an investment phase to a profit-recovery phase.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
