Some of the display cases, air conditioners, microwaves, and other fixtures and equipment removed from stores that are being remodeled or closed are reused in other, newly opened stores.

When we refurbish or close a store, we keep its fixtures and equipment that meet a certain standard in our reuse centers. After cleaning and maintenance, we reuse them for refurbished or new stores. One reuse center is located in western Japan and the other in eastern Japan. All fixtures and equipment are numbered for identification to enable effective reuse in the stores regardless of their location.
