Business Details
Operates home centers offering a wide range of products including DIY goods, household items, car and leisure goods, stationery, and food. Focuses on regionally-rooted store development centered on Tochigi Prefecture, aiming to be the "No. 1 store in the region." The company is promoting a combined merchandise-and-service store strategy through the expansion of DCM private brand (PB) products, enhanced sales promotion using its proprietary "KANSEKI App," and the introduction of the Sports Gym "Life Fit."
Recent Overview
PB expansion improved margins, but segment revenue fell year-on-year due to post-Golden Week demand pullback.
In Q1 FY2027 (ending March 2027) (March–May 2026), sales of DCM private brand products grew by double digits year-on-year, contributing significantly to improved gross margin. While summer seasonal items such as air conditioners and cooling wear also performed well, the post-Golden Week consumption pullback exceeded expectations, and pet-related goods and the bicycle category also underperformed, resulting in operating revenue of ¥3,858 million (down 0.3% year-on-year). However, profit improvement driven by PB sales expansion supported earnings, and segment profit increased significantly to ¥158 million (up 41.5% year-on-year).
Key Products
Growth Drivers
