Equity Bottom-Up

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/4701" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:4701:1">Kobe Bussan (3038 JP)</a> opened its cash and carry food wholesale business to the general public back in 2000 and has not looked back.
While often under the radar of overseas investors, the chain – which is called Gyomu Super – today has more than 800 stores, although entirely franchised, and continues to grow thanks to low prices and a unique range of merchandise.
It is a great example of the growth going on in discount retailing of all kinds, and of how much Japanese appreciate discount retailing when they can access it.
We believe this demand for discount will continue to grow because consumer budgets remain under pressure and will continue to stay under pressure for a long time to come.
Kobe Bussan will be a significant beneficiary of this trend and should continue to grow strongly.
