TOKYO, Jan 29 (Pulse News Wire) – J.front Retailing CO.,LTD. (3086.T) announced today that its subsidiary Parco Co., Ltd.
Has decided to close the Fukuoka PARCO store by the end of February 2027. Fukuoka PARCO opened in March 2010 in the Tenjin area of central Fukuoka city and has operated for over 15 years with support from the local community. However, due to the aging of the building and ongoing development plans in the Nishi-Tenjin district, the company concluded that closing the store was necessary after careful long-term consideration. The store covers approximately 42,000 square meters and accounted for about 8.4% percent of the tenant sales volume in the Tenjin area during fiscal 2024. It is located at 2-11-1, Minami 2-chome, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City.
In the future, the company plans to collaborate with surrounding businesses to develop the Nishi-Tenjin block station front east and west districts. They aim to enhance the seismic safety and disaster prevention capabilities of buildings through reconstruction while incorporating PARCO's content into live houses, galleries, museums, and other cultural and informational facilities. Additionally, they plan to improve green spaces and integrate building greening with parks. Furthermore, the company intends to work closely with the redevelopment plan for ShinTenmaicho, which includes preserving the history of the shopping street and Melheim Chime alleyway. Their goal is to create a vibrant and inviting urban environment that appeals to people of all ages, enhancing pedestrian convenience and promoting greater foot traffic throughout the area.
