Iconic retail chain, Tokyu Hands, is to be acquired by Cainz, Japan’s leading home centre retailer.
Tokyu Hands remains as popular as ever thanks to its unique merchandising, but it has struggled to be profitable for a long time.
Cainz should be able to fix this and Hands will be part of Cainz’s plans to become the Workman Co Ltd (7564 JP) of home retailing – bringing competition to Nitori.
