■ Specific Initiatives

1. City Promotion (Regional Revitalization)

SDRS is conducting city promotion in connection with the original anime "Maebashi Witches," set in Maebashi City. As part of this, a "fan-activity sales trailer house" equipped with retail functionality has been exhibited at Rakkodo Maebashi Park since May. This project aims to recreate the world of the anime in reality, creating a fan interaction hub and proposing new ways to utilize public spaces and future images of regional development.

Due to positive reception, the exhibition period has been extended, and based on this agreement, a pilot program for merchandise sales will commence on Saturday, May 30, 2026. Please note that business hours will be irregular during the pilot, and sales schedules will be posted on the company's website "Notice" section and official X account.

Exhibition/Operation Period: Through the end of June 2026
Merchandise Sales Start: Saturday, May 30, 2026

Through these efforts, the company aims to attract tourists from outside the city (creating related populations) and provide a place for residents to "gather," thereby revitalizing the regional economy through entertainment.

2. Heatstroke Prevention (Safe and Secure Town Development)

As a heatstroke prevention measure, SDRS installed the "TRUSCO Personal Cooling Box 'Do-hiemon BOX'," which it manufactures, in the lobby of Maebashi City Hall on May 25.

This product provides direct cooling with cold air as low as 5°C. It requires no construction, runs on a standard 100V power supply, and enables efficient cool-down in a short time. Its installation will provide a safe and comfortable environment for visitors and staff at the City Hall, contributing to the prevention of health issues during the summer.

SDRS will continue to utilize its unique technical capabilities to provide multifaceted and practical support toward realizing Maebashi City’s vision, "Where good things grow."
