PROFILE |
 |
Japanese retailer Isetan is more than a century old, even though it tries to appeal to the younger generation. Its department stores sell apparel, personal items, food, household goods, and sundries. Isetan also has operations in financial services, real estate, and travel agencies. It operates seven department stores in the Tokyo area, plus stores in Shizuoka and Niigata. Isetan was one of the first Japanese retailers to open stores in other Asian countries in the early 1970s. Besides Asia, it also has operations in Austria, the UK, and the US. An estimated $600 million investment in US retailer Barneys New York soured when Barneys entered Chapter 11 in 1996. Isetan now owns about 9% of the reorganized company.
