In July 2009, Nagano-based Kenko Kazoku Drug Corporation merged with MAX Co., Ltd. (Niigata) to become Matsumotokiyoshi Kou-Shin-Etsu Co., Ltd. Later, we also absorbed Nakajima Family Pharmacy Co., Ltd. (northern Nagano) in January 2012 and ITAYAMAMEDICO Co., Ltd (Yamanashi) in October 2015, strengthening our community-based store rollout in the Koshinetsu region.  In April 2020, we positioned the Koshinetsu and Hokuriku regions as one of our dominant areas following a review of our classification of the country into seven areas, and absorbed SHIMENO Co., Ltd., a company with stores mainly in the prefectures of Ishikawa, Toyama, Fukui, and Gifu, in order to deploy policies more effectively with more efficient operating costs and to enhance lineups that match the needs of these regions and customers.We want to be a store beloved by customers and vital for their health and beauty. That is why we aim to expand our business in ways rooted in the community, covering all our customers’s daily needs by enhancing our lineup of foods and daily goods, while still basing our drugstore business on health and beauty.  In the pharmacies business, we promote the “Nagano Model” of local, comprehensive care that reinforces community links within home care, aiming to strengthen our specialization as well as being able to deal with outpatient prescriptions.

We aim to become a company that can contribute greatly to local communities under the banner of “Being trusted to provide customers and patients with regional medical care, and being a store that is indispensable to the health and beauty fields.” In our drugstore business, we draw on our strengths in health and beauty to cover the entirety of our customers’ lifestyles, including foods and daily goods. In the prescriptions business, we aim to become pharmacies that can comprehensively support patients, working with the region and various jobs, and based on the construction of a community comprehensive care model (Nagano Model, Suwa Model).
