We are aiming at becoming a company group that contributes to extending health and longevity as we enter the age of 100-year lifespans

Matsumotokiyoshi Holdings Co., Ltd. and cocokara fine Inc. integrated operations on October 1, 2021, based on the mutual belief that both companies would be the best partner due to the fact that they share a common ideal for MatsukiyoCocokara & Co. to "improve the heath and beauty of customers in local communities and place the maximum value on lifestyle fulfilment," promote the same strategies within their administrative affairs, and share a complementary relationship with regard to the areas where stores are being established.

The company established its management philosophy of “Creating the future ‘normal’ and innovating lifestyles,” and it is our intention to foresee the future of health and beauty, and contribute to the realization of enhanced lives and livelier communities through the creation of new customer experiences.

Integrating operations has enabled us to establish a network consisting of more than 3,400 stores throughout all 47 of the country’s prefectures, and this has made us the “largest and most familiar drugstore group in Japan among customers”. Various types of unified synergy have achieved enormous business results, which will allow us to move in our desired direction, and all of our stakeholders have high expectations. Under the assumption that companies sharing the same aspirations will take part, we will continue to promote the concept of an association of companies, including business tie-ups and franchise agreements, etc., into the future.

Japan has entered an age of 100-year lifespans, and discovering how to extend healthy life expectancy to ensure that everybody enjoys beautiful and healthy lifestyles has become a huge social issue. We are about to celebrate the 90th anniversary since the forerunner of the company, Matsumotokiyoshi Co., Ltd., was founded, and the Group is aiming at becoming a company that is familiar with customers so that we can provide high levels of peace of mind and delight to local communities based on the three pillars of “Health,” “Beauty” and “Wellness” based on the experience and business results we have accumulated up until now, thereby supporting a society of health and longevity.

We are also contributing to the achievement of the SDGs and creating corporate value by the practical implementation of sustainable management with regard to the issues of human rights, the earth, the environment, society and governance.

We look forward to your continued support.
