## Why We Could Expand to 50 Stores
ECOFIT24 has fundamentally reviewed the 'labor-dependent' structure of traditional gym operations and established a business model that is viable even at low prices.
- Labor saving through unmanned operations
- Simple pricing structure
- High reproducibility through standardized operations
- Store openings along daily life routes (residential areas, near stations, roadside)
- Simple and easy-to-use machine configuration
- Environment accessible 24 hours a day
Through these measures, we have lowered the hurdles for store opening and management on the operational side, while realizing an environment that is easy for users to commute to and continue using. As a result, we have garnered support from a wide range of demographics, accelerated nationwide expansion, and surpassed the 50-store mark.
