Withthe theme of "INCLUSION", the store will feature larger stores with both “women” and “men” categories in the samestores catering to modern tastes for enjoyment and shopping. Moving away from the traditional department store
which was very segregated by different floors for Men and Women, Seibu Ikebukuro will welcome all customers
visiting Ikebukuro in unifying spaces where friends, couples, and families can shop and enjoy time together. With avariety of world-class brand shops and a high-quality interior and exterior design, the store will create a new face for
the Ikebukuro area.
The entire Seibu Ikebukuro Main Store itself and each floor will be designed with the architectural concept of“Maison” (“House” in French) to create spaces that embody three elements befitting high quality: “class”,“sophistication”, and “art”. The centerpieces will focus on luxury, cosmetics, and basement deli section, and thefashion areas will feature sales floors that remove the traditional gender concepts of “women” and “men”.
Merchandising will be strengthened, focusing on luxury, cosmetics, and the basement deli section, areas that havebeen mostly supported by customers in recent years. The “Luxury” section will bring together about 60 of the world's
top brands and will be presented in mixed men's and women's shops (with sales floor area 1.3 times larger than thecurrent size). The “Cosmetics” section will offer about 60 domestic and international brands, including unisex brands
that customers can shop for with their partners (with sales floor area 1.7 times larger than the current size). The
basement deli section, which is considered to be the face of a department store, will aggregate Seibu Ikebukuro Main
Store’s power content and is scheduled feature about 180 shops including new brands. Sogo & Seibu will also
strengthen its private sales service for valued customers which is one of its strengths.
As a commercial facility that supports Ikebukuro, the 3rd largest terminal station in the world and one of the world's
top-class premium market, Seibu Ikebukuro will enhance its grade to provide maximum customer satisfaction in bothscale and content. It will serve as the gateway to Toshima Ward, which continues to evolve as an international city ofart and culture.
