Children's Cafeteria x Product Development Hub "LOVE LABO" to Open

Our company supports April Dream, a project that aims to make April 1st a day for announcing dreams. This press release is a dream of Marshmallow Works.

Marshmallow Works is a brand that creates time and mental space for people by developing products that resolve dissatisfaction, inconvenience, and stress in daily life.

As an April Dream, we announce our goal to establish a community-rooted children's cafeteria called "LOVE LABO" (Love Lab), utilizing the profits gained from our business.

This initiative goes beyond simply providing meals; it aims to create a "place" where diverse people can gather, support each other, and generate new value.

■① A place where people connect through food
"LOVE LABO" is envisioned as a place that provides children with a safe environment to eat, while also serving as a space where local people can naturally interact.

By having people from various backgrounds—children, families raising children, the elderly, people with disabilities, and those with foreign roots—spend time in the same space, we aim to prevent isolation and foster loose connections.

We will provide a place that is not merely a "support facility," but one where everyone has a role and can participate.

■② A "Living Lab" connected to product development
Marshmallow Works develops products based on inconveniences and stresses found in everyday life.

"LOVE LABO" will also serve as a "living laboratory" where we can directly hear the real voices of children and parents.

・Small troubles felt during childcare
・Stress and inconvenience in daily life
・Ideas that are truly sought after

We will listen to and monitor these, connecting them to new product development.

By building a system where solving social issues and product development circulate, we aim to provide more essential value.

■③ To become a hub connecting communities and businesses
"LOVE LABO" also aims to function as a hub where companies and organizations from within and outside the region can get involved.

Utilizing the products, services, and knowledge that companies possess, we will create opportunities for support and information provision aimed at diverse people in the community.

Furthermore, for companies, it aims to be a place where they can encounter the real voices of consumers, leading to the creation of new value.

By connecting communities, businesses, and consumers in a two-way manner, we will contribute to the formation of a sustainable community.

■④ Aiming for both business and social contribution
This initiative aims to operate sustainably by utilizing the profits gained from Marshmallow Works' business.

"Creating good products" leads to "creating a good cycle for society."

This is a challenge to realize such a way of doing business.

Marshmallow Works will continue to provide value to society through both axes: products that improve daily life and the creation of places where people connect.
