Translation

The department store market is becoming increasingly competitive, and business consolidation is getting underway as they are struggling to survive.
This is to bring on the economy of scale.
M became the leading company in the industry in 2008 when the 2 companies I and M consolidated.
I and M both have advantages in their brand power larger than any other department stores, with I being popular among young fashion-conscious customers and M being highly favored from rich elderly customers. The key to success in the future is said to come up with new approaches using brand power as their strength.
The center of their business used to be the 3 flagship stores Shinjuku, Nihonbashi, and Ginza until now, but they will focus on new business categories and web scheme from now. They will also move into travel business for the wealthy class.
