## History

Takuya Okada , the de facto founder of Aeon Co., Ltd., visited a shopping mall in the United States when he was running the Okadaya chain, the predecessor of Okada . Taking this opportunity, we started to set up a shopping center in Japan. In 1969, when the joint purchasing company "JUSCO Co., Ltd." ( merged with Okadaya in 1970 ) was established with Futagi Shiro , " Diamond City Co., Ltd. " was established jointly with Mitsubishi Corporation . At that time, developing through Diamond City Co., Ltd. while partnered with Mitsubishi Corporation for the shopping center, the Company, following the predecessor company era, to the store, which was allowed to move the shop of local in addition to the directly managed sales floor this " Jusco " And said.

As the sales floor area of ​​supermarkets in Japan is expanding year by year, the sales floor area of ​​"JUSCO" has also expanded in both the directly managed sales floor and the area where local stores (specialty stores) are located. Although the Company from the time of the definition is difficult was to start the shopping center business, 1973 September 20, the **anchor store with enhanced one-stop shopping function** open Jusco Kawanishi shop was positioned the (Hyogo Prefecture) ( 2008 February 20 It is closed on the day ), which is the average shopping center established at that time, although the scale and location are different from the current shopping center where Aeon Co., Ltd. is newly opening.

In the 1990s, we had already become a corporate group with many companies under our umbrella and formed the "AEON Group". Therefore, a shopping center design that gathers the stores of each Aeon Group company has been sought, and "Aeon Kosan Co., Ltd." (currently Aeon Mall Co., Ltd.) is a shopping center business as a specialist company that coordinates with each group company. I came to enter the market. In addition, as the number of directly managed stores and specialty stores of Jusco stores expands, we have expanded the specialty stores independently of the Jusco stores, and added Jusco, which is now only a directly managed store, to the core stores. Developed into a "city". After that, in addition to Jusco, shopping centers with core stores such as Maxvalu, Aeon Supercenter , and Saty have also opened.

In this way, today, each Aeon Group company has set up shopping centers in a form similar to each other, but each company has a different history, and even if there are multiple companies in the Aeon Group that develop shopping centers. is there.

As part of the reorganization of the general merchandise store business, the Aeon Group has converted "JUSCO," "Sati," and " Posful " into " Aeon ." Furthermore, Daiei became a wholly owned subsidiary, and many of the Daiei stores were converted to Aeon. On top of that, "Aeon" and "Daiei" are being converted to new business formats that are different from the existing "general merchandise stores." As a result, the business chart within the group has been significantly rewritten.
