ORIHICA to Open New Store at AEON MALL Rinku Sennan, Currently Undergoing Large-Scale Renovation

ORIHICA, a brand operated by AOKI Inc. (President: Akihiro Aoki), will open "ORIHICA AEON MALL Rinku Sennan" on the first floor of the AEON MALL Rinku Sennan commercial facility in Sennan City, Osaka, on Friday, April 3, 2026, coinciding with the mall's spring renewal. As part of its goal to reach 200 stores nationwide, ORIHICA aims to increase brand awareness and expand its market share by strengthening its dominant presence in the Kansai area, a key region for the company.

■ ORIHICA Opens in a Commercial Facility Reborn to "Link More Excitement"

AEON MALL Rinku Sennan, where ORIHICA will be located, leverages its prime location overlooking Osaka Bay to offer an "extraordinary" experience beyond just shopping. It boasts one of the highest visitor counts in southern Osaka, attracting a wide range of customers, including local residents of the Senshu area, weekend leisure visitors from areas like northern Wakayama, business travelers using Kansai International Airport, and international tourists. The mall is undergoing a major update starting in the spring of 2026, introducing new gourmet and fashion options, a new indoor playground with net equipment and slides, and a revamped food court. This opening aims to capture the "working generation" who balance busy weekdays with family time on weekends, expanding brand recognition among suburban residents who have had limited contact with traditional city-center stores.

The new store features a gentle color scheme based on "ORIHICA Blue" and incorporates curved designs on fixtures and walls, creating a welcoming space that blends nostalgia with modernity for customers of all ages. Although more compact than standard ORIHICA stores, it utilizes a "Web Order System" that allows customers to shop from online inventory and have items delivered from the warehouse to their homes. This allows the store to dedicate sufficient space to displaying items with high immediate-take-home demand, such as jackets, shirts, and accessories. By optimizing floor efficiency, the store provides an environment where customers can view a wide selection of products. An opening special sale will also be held to ensure maximum customer satisfaction.

ORIHICA will continue to strengthen its presence in key regions as it works toward its goal of 200 stores.
