We would like to express our deepest sympathies to those affected by the Noto Peninsula Earthquake of 2020. We sincerely hope that the disaster-stricken areas will recover as soon as possible and that peaceful days will return.

The disaster-stricken area is still in the early stages of recovery, and the local community has expressed the need for continued support. Cainz will continue to utilize its characteristics as a local lifeline, collaborate with various stakeholders based on the “Kumimachi Initiative,” and continue activities to support the recovery and reconstruction of disaster-stricken areas.
-About the Kumimachi concept-
“Let’s all DIY our lives in the town.”
Since our founding, we have had the aspiration of “contributing to the development of society through commerce,” and this is a concept unique to Cainz, whose stores have carried out business activities while closely supporting the lives of local residents. Stores and the members (employees) who work there serve as a hub, carefully listening to the problems, concerns, and needs of each region, and
collaborating/co-creating with the various stakeholders involved in daily life, so that people can become independent. We aim to create a “town” (≒ local community) where each person can play a leading role, where everyone can have fun together and help each other.
