Message from the President

First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for your continued support of Kobe Bussan.

Since our founding in November 1985, we have expanded Gyomu Super stores to all 47 prefectures by 2021, and in 2022, we proudly reached the milestone of 1,000 store openings. This achievement would not have been possible without your unwavering support, for which I am deeply grateful.

With food at the core of our business and guided by our mission of delivering More Value with Less Price, we are committed to supporting people's daily lives in any way we can. To provide high-quality products at affordable prices, we continuously work to improve our supply chain and store operation system while strengthening our Group's concept of an "Integrated Food Production and Distribution Operation" — a key differentiator from other companies.

As for the Gyomu Super business, we will continue to devote ourselves to management efforts so that our stores are recognized as the place to find quality products at the best prices, and as the No.1 local supermarket that brings health and smiles to as many customers as possible.

We kindly ask for your understanding and appreciate continued patronage.

Hirokazu Numata
President and Representative Director
Kobe Bussan Co., Ltd.
