Saison Group
 PROFILE
With big business comes big trouble, and the Saison Group knows both. The Japanese conglomerate has stakes in the food, retail, finance, transportation, real estate, and entertainment industries, among others. Group members near the top of their markets include Seiyu supermarkets, Seibu Department Stores, and Credit Saison. In recent years a sluggish Japanese economy and heavy debt have forced the Saison Group into major restructuring; it has sold Inter-Continental Hotels and Resorts to Bass of the UK and sold #3-ranked convenience store chain, FamilyMart, to Itochu.An alliance pairing Seiyu with a non-group company, Sumitomo may lead to the dissolution of the Saison group.
