Open as
“Aeon Imabari Store” opened as “Imabari Sati” in 1999, and was renamed to “AEON” in 2011. It has good access via major roads where people gather, such as National Route 196 and Prefectural Route 156, and many people live an urban lifestyle within 10 minutes by car, including the central city area around Imabari Station. The store is located in a location where there are many families with children.
In June of this year, a large hotel opened adjacent to the store, and the area near the store is expected to become even more crowded. Under these circumstances, we will add the name “Umagoe,” which is familiar to the local community, to “Aeon Imabari Store” and renovate it into “Soyora,” a new business format that fits modern lifestyles. .
[*About Aeon Retail’s urban SC “Soyora”]*
“Soyora” was selected through a public recruitment process held in conjunction with the opening of “Aeon Style Ebie” which opened in March 2020. “Soyora, stop by and enjoy!”
The name is derived from the call. The idea behind this facility is to make the lives of people living in the city more enjoyable and comfortable, like a refreshing breeze blowing into their daily lives. With the keywords of “a place to commute, gather, and connect,” we aim to be the most convenient hub for urban living in daily life. We aim to be a “familiar facility where you can bring your children in the most comfortable way.”
