Store opening background
“Sports” is attracting attention as one of the consumption trends in 2024. This is due to the hosting of major international competitions and other sporting events, as well as the growing awareness of health and exercise. On the other hand, in a “Survey Survey on Sports and Esports (Games)” conducted by our company targeting Generation Z, many people expressed a desire for entertainment in exercise, such as those who find it difficult to exercise and want to have fun while doing it. Furthermore, more than half of teenagers (56.8%) answered that they would like to have fun with friends or a group of people (2 to 4 or more) when exercising or playing sports. It was found that people tend to enjoy playing sports together with a group.
