[AEON RETAIL] AEON STYLE SHIN-MATSUDO Opens on Wednesday, July 15

AEON RETAIL will open AEON STYLE SHIN-MATSUDO (Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture; hereinafter referred to as "the store") on Wednesday, July 15. As a "Food & Drug" store featuring a food sales floor, health & beauty care sales floor, and dispensing pharmacy, the store will provide convenient products and services that enrich the lives of local customers.

The predecessor to this store opened as DAI-EI SHIN-MATSUDO in November 1981, and was renamed AEON FOOD STYLE SHIN-MATSUDO in August 2019. It has been supported by the local community for approximately 44 years. Now, it is reborn as AEON STYLE SHIN-MATSUDO, operated by our company.

The store is located about an 8-minute walk from Shin-Matsudo Station, where the JR Musashino Line and Joban Line intersect. The area has high commuter convenience and many nursery schools and kindergartens, leading to an increase in families with children and single individuals. Additionally, many seniors who have lived in the area for many years also reside here.

As a core store in a shopping center, the store will enhance its offerings for families with children with easy-to-use food and drug items, and will expand its selection of cosmetics popular with Gen Z, as a university is located adjacent to the store. Furthermore, we will expand our selection of fresh foods and prepared meals, offering new value in terms of quality, taste, and the joy of choosing to a wide range of customers, from young people to seniors. The store will respond to the diverse needs of the community more than ever before.

The first floor will feature a beauty sales floor with popular cosmetics such as Asian cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and the "AEON Pharmacy" which accepts prescriptions from all over the country. We will also have a convenient sales floor for everyday use, stocking frequently purchased items such as baby food, diapers, pet food, and innerwear.

2nd Floor Food: Offering "Seasonality, Freshness, and Deliciousness" for All Dining Occasions

◆ Permanent Fresh Fish Counter Sales Corner. Offering Seasonal Fish Procured Daily from Toyosu Market, etc.

We will sell seasonal fish and sliced fish, procured daily from Toyosu Market, etc., at our in-person sales counter. We will also offer preparation services such as filleting into three pieces or butterflying upon customer request. Some of the fish from the in-person counter will be processed into sashimi and prepared fish dishes. Our "Fish Dishes (UoUoEn)" will include popular grilled mackerel and horse mackerel, simmered flounder, and more. We will also offer bento boxes using grilled fish. For sushi, we will offer nigiri sushi with a focus on "Honmaguro" (bluefin tuna).

◆ Corner Featuring Vegetables from Matsudo City and Nearby Areas. Offering Seasonal Cut Fruits and Sweets

We will feature seasonal vegetables from Matsudo City, Nagareyama City, and Kashiwa City in our local vegetable corner. We will also stock organic vegetables certified by JAS organic under AEON's private brand "TOPVALU GREENEYE." The fruit section will offer cut fruits and sweets made with fresh fruits. We will provide visually appealing fruit sweets such as tarts and waffles topped with strawberries and blueberries.

◆ Meat Sales Floor: Expanded Selection of Large-Capacity Packs and Easy-to-Cook Meats for Family Households

In response to the increasing consumption of meat at home, we will offer a wide selection to provide the joy of choosing. We will expand our offerings of "bulk packs" and "easy-to-cook" items, which are highly demanded by customers and prioritize time-saving and cost-effectiveness. We will stock large-capacity packs of pork, chicken, and minced meat for bulk purchases, as well as pre-seasoned meats that can be easily cooked in a frying pan. We will also offer a selection of steaks, yakiniku, tonteki, and yakitori that are easy to choose from.

◆ "Roast Beef Sushi" Available as a Treat for Yourself

We will offer self-service prepared foods from "Reward Kitchen," featuring salads and main dishes made with carefully selected ingredients and colors. We will also offer sushi made with popular roast beef as a celebratory menu item. For the meat, we use the rare cut "tomo sankaku," characterized by its moderate marbling, rich fat, and tenderness. We are particular about the carefully selected seasonings and cooking methods, resulting in a moist and tender roast beef that allows you to enjoy the meat's umami.

◆ Our Recommended Yakitori and Tempura Offered Individually

We will offer "Domestic Chicken Yakitori Skewers" grilled in-house using domestic chicken. Domestic chicken is skewered in Japan, transported via chilled logistics to maintain freshness, and then grilled in-house. The sauce is made by combining soy sauces with different flavor profiles, creating a deep flavor that brings out the natural umami of the chicken. For tempura, we will sell sweet potato, pumpkin, eggplant, shrimp, and chikuwa individually.

◆ From Dough Fermentation to Baking In-House! "Pizza Solida" Offered

"Pizza Solida" pizzas are exquisite, combining a chewy texture with a fragrant wheat flavor. We are particular about our manufacturing process, including fermenting the dough in-house, carefully stretching each one by hand, and baking at high temperatures for a short time. We offer authentic Italian pizzas such as the classic "Margherita" using Italian tomato sauce, and the highly popular "Quattro Grazie," which allows you to enjoy four different flavors on one pizza.

◆ Abundant Selection of Freshly Baked Bread Made In-Store

At "Cantabile," our freshly baked bread shop, we offer a wide selection including croissants, baguettes, savory breads, and sweet breads. We will also offer items such as katsu sandwiches made with thick-cut tonkatsu, hamburgers, kope bread, and the popular "fresh donuts."

1st Floor: Beauty & Health Care to Support Your Daily Beauty and Health

◆ Wide Selection of Asian and Trendy Cosmetics for Gen Z and All Ages

We offer a wide variety of Korean cosmetics, popular among a broad range of generations for their trendy feel, high quality, and good cost performance, as well as affordable "petit-price" cosmetics. We will stock Korean brands such as "Anua," "d'Alba," and "medi-cube," as well as trendy cosmetics from brands like "CEZANNE" and "CANMAKE."

◆ "AEON Pharmacy" Accepts Prescriptions from Across the Country

Our pharmacy is equipped with an "AI Reception Machine" for self-service prescription reception. The "AI Reception Machine" is a system that allows patients to handle prescription reception, collect paper medication books, collect reception slips, verify My Number cards, and answer questionnaires themselves without human intervention. This reduces waiting times for reception and medication pickup, and alleviates the burden on patients, such as being able to complete reception without conversation when feeling unwell. Our pharmacy strives to improve services by streamlining reception operations and dedicating more time to medication guidance and consultations.

◆ "Genki Support Station" Installed for Free Measurement of Blood Pressure, Vascular Age, etc.

We have installed "blood pressure monitors," "body composition analyzers," and "vascular age meters" that customers can use to easily check their health status. You can easily measure your daily physical condition each time you visit. We also offer "Genki Recipe" booklets for health improvement to support your daily health management.

We will also operate "Assisted Checkout," where employees handle everything from scanning to payment, to support those who need assistance with checkout.

◆ Formation of "AEON Cheers Club" for Local Elementary and Junior High School Students to Learn About the Environment (Scheduled for Spring 2027)

AEON provides a place for local elementary and junior high school students to foster interest and thinking skills in environmental and social contribution activities through experiential learning, using AEON stores nationwide as activity bases. Our store will also recruit participating members to form an "AEON Cheers Club" and engage in various activities.

◆ "AEON Lucky Yellow Receipt Campaign" to Support the Local Community Through Shopping

The "AEON Lucky Yellow Receipt Campaign" is an initiative to support local volunteer organizations together with our customers. On AEON Day, the 11th of each month, customers can place their yellow receipts received at checkout into designated collection boxes for local volunteer organizations. AEON then donates items equivalent to 1% of the purchase amount indicated on the receipt to each organization. Electronic receipts (receipt-less function) from AEON's total app "iAEON" can also be used for submission. Our store will also support local organizations through this campaign.
