Three Strengths of the Mishima Store
1. A familiar window for management support for restaurants in Izu, the foot of Mt. Fuji, and Atami
In the entire Izu Peninsula (including Atami, Ito, Mishima, and Numazu), Fuji City, Fujinomiya City, Gotemba City, and Susono City, which fall within the Mishima store's trade area, a total of about 10,000 restaurants [1] are in business. Many of these are privately run stores and accommodation facilities, and they are entities that support local food. By opening a store in Mishima, a key transportation hub, the location allows smooth visits not only from the entire Izu Peninsula and the foot of Mt. Fuji, but also from the Atami and Yugawara areas. It is fully equipped with parking for 26 cars, accommodating visits from a wide area.
2. Total support as the "savior of small and micro restaurants"
The goal of the Tenpos Group goes beyond simply selling kitchen equipment. It is to become a "savior" for as many small and micro restaurants as possible to secure profits and continue their businesses. The Mishima store will serve as a contact point for various services deployed by the group and support the resolution of the following management issues:
- Human resources introduction: Resolving labor shortages through recruitment support specialized for the restaurant industry.
- IT/DX support: Support for the introduction of POS registers, cashless payment systems, and waiting systems that promote operational efficiency.
- Real estate/Interior: From introducing fully equipped vacant properties to efficient kitchen and interior design and construction.
- Sales promotion/Customer attraction: Proposals for countermeasures to customer attraction issues unique to tourist areas and inbound demand.
- Cost optimization: Proposals for highly cost-effective kitchen designs combining used and new equipment, based on understanding traffic lines with 3D drawings.
3. A large store with 4 floors and a total area of 715 tsubo
Inside the 4-story building, we carry a wide range of products required by food professionals, from kitchen equipment to cooking utensils, tableware, and store furniture. We aim to be a store where you can check and purchase everything you need all at once, from preparation for opening to renewal.
Aim of Opening
In this area, including Izu and Atami, there is persistent demand for opening and renewing restaurants backed by tourism demand. The Tenpos Group, including Tenpos Busters, will contribute to the sustainable development of restaurants that support the food of tourist areas by accompanying them in all management issues such as customer attraction support and human resources introduction, going beyond the provision of kitchen equipment.
Cooperation with Existing Stores
With the opening of the Mishima store, combined with the existing Shizuoka store (Suruga-ku, Shizuoka City) and Shonan store (Hiratsuka City), the support system from eastern Shizuoka Prefecture to western Kanagawa Prefecture will be enhanced. The Mishima store is located about 50 minutes from the Shizuoka store using the Tomei Expressway, and about 70 minutes from the Shonan store via National Route 1. The trade areas of each store do not overlap, providing a familiar consultation destination for restaurant owners in each area.
For businesses in the Fuji/Fujinomiya and Atami/Yugawara areas, the Mishima store will be their nearest Tenpos. The Shonan store is also easily accessible from the Hakone area, making it possible to use either store depending on the location.
