S.H.N Co., Ltd. Launches Nationwide Recruitment for New Store Locations for 'Izakaya Kakumei Yotteba' Following 40-Store Milestone

S.H.N Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ryuta Takahashi), the operator of the casual izakaya brand 'Izakaya Kakumei Yotteba,' has announced a nationwide call for information on available properties and existing restaurant spaces (inuki). This initiative is part of the company's efforts to strengthen its store footprint, with a goal of reaching 100 locations nationwide by the end of 2028, following the brand's achievement of its 40-store milestone.

'Izakaya Kakumei Yotteba' has been developed as a casual izakaya where customers can stop by easily, with its signature item being chicken wings. As of April 30, 2026, the chain operates 40 stores across Japan. Moving forward, the company plans to further intensify its store openings in areas with high dining demand, including metropolitan areas, major local cities, areas near stations, downtown districts, shopping streets, and along commuter routes.

This store count refers specifically to the 'Izakaya Kakumei Yotteba' brand and does not include the separate 'Yotteba Daio' brand.

Securing properties that meet multiple conditions—such as location, rental rates, floor area, kitchen facilities, and surrounding environment—is critical for new restaurant openings. In particular, store properties in high-demand areas like station fronts, downtown districts, and shopping streets, as well as 'inuki' (existing restaurant) properties that can utilize current interiors and kitchen equipment, are limited in supply. Promptly identifying properties that match these criteria is a key strategic theme for the company's expansion.

In light of this, S.H.N is broadly soliciting property information from real estate professionals, property owners, restaurant owners, and local residents nationwide.

The target properties include vacant shops, existing restaurant spaces, properties scheduled for vacancy, and store properties in station-front, downtown, or shopping street locations. If an introduced property meets S.H.N’s criteria and leads to a formal lease contract, the company will present a reward of 200,000 yen to the referrer in accordance with its regulations.

Through this initiative, the company aims to broaden its opportunities for store openings across the country while also contributing to the effective use of vacant or existing restaurant properties.
