PROFILE |
 |
Retail warrior Takashimaya Company has the honor of being the oldest department store chain in Japan. Takashimaya has 18 stores throughout the country; it also sells its products through catalogs and has its own credit card. In addition to its department stores, which ring up more than 80% of sales, the company is involved in construction, real estate, restaurant management, and wholesaling through about 60 domestic affiliates and about 30 foreign affiliates. Tight consumer spending has forced the company to make plans to lay off 1,200 workers over a three-year period. The retailer began operations in Kyoto as a kimono shop in 1831 and opened its first department store in 1922.
