**[Background for Store Opening]**
Fukutsu City in Fukuoka Prefecture has seen a sharp increase in households, from 26,534 in 2020 to 31,072 households five years later, a rise of approximately 17%. The population of children under 15 is 11,570, ranking 6th among municipalities in Kyushu and Okinawa (based on the Basic Resident Register in 2025). Located almost halfway between Fukuoka City and Kitakyushu City, its excellent accessibility, with trains to Hakata taking only about 20-30 minutes, makes it popular among families relocating for child-rearing.
With the increase in relocating families, the need for formal wear required for important family events like weddings and funerals is growing. However, there are few stores within Fukutsu City where one can find a complete range of women's formal wear, from mourning attire to party dresses, ceremony suits, shoes, and bags, all in one place.
Against this backdrop, in Fukutsu City, which is gaining attention as a bedroom community, we will develop a store where customers can find all necessary formal wear for life's milestones in a one-stop shop.
Tokyo Soir has supported Japan's ceremonial and formal culture for over 50 years as a specialized company for women's formal wear. The directly managed stores "form forma" are opening their fourth store this year, following five stores last year, and aggressive expansion is planned for the future. The background to this steady store openings lies in our customer service capabilities, where advisors well-versed in specialized knowledge and etiquette, guided by the concept "Formal Wear, Closer to You," have proposed the optimal attire for each customer's preferences and concerns.
**[form forma Aeon Mall Fukutsu Store Features]**
The Aeon Mall Fukutsu, where we are opening, is a large commercial facility with approximately 180 specialty stores. Utilizing its open, three-story atrium space, it hosts traditional events like the "Kanezaki Bon Odori" (festival dance), demonstrating its commitment to community engagement. The mall offers a wide range of the latest fashion, accessories, and amusement facilities, catering to both daily needs and special shopping occasions, making it a "one-stop solution" mall expected to attract visitors not only from Fukutsu City but also from wider areas such as Munakata City, Koga City, and Kitakyushu City.
In a region where the culture of cherishing life's milestones, including coming-of-age ceremonies, is deeply rooted, we aim to become a local formal hub, adding color to life stages through formal attire.
**[Value Proposition]**
* Parties: Enjoy social gatherings and weddings with guest dresses that boost your mood.
* Summer Weddings: For mothers of the bride and groom, a cool and light formal dress ensures a more memorable wedding.
