Kinshicho PARCO 6th floor
G-LAND EXTREME
We are very grateful to have the opportunity to open a store at Kinshicho PARCO. We have been selling apparel here in Kinshicho since 1968. We started opening directly operated stores around 20 years ago, and it is now the main format of our business.
The Rakutenchi Building where Kinshicho PARCO has opened holds memories for me as I used to come here to see movies as a child. At the time, the area around the south gate of Kinshicho Station was booming, and the north gate area was a bit lonely. Then, the north gate area was redeveloped about 25 years ago, and it was reborn with city hotels and office buildings. When the TOKYO SKYTREE opened, Kinshicho Station entered the spotlight as it is the nearest JR station. Kinshicho PARCO is in a superb location in the middle of the north and south gates, connecting them. I am certain that the complex will continue to develop going forward.
We will provide top quality casual wear to Kinshicho PARCO customers, with gratitude to Kinshicho for our 50 years of business there.
Thank you for your support.
A shared sense of happiness—from here into the future
