Business Update for Yoshitsu Co., Ltd.’s Duty-free Shopping Services

Tokyo, Japan, Dec. 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yoshitsu Co., Ltd (“Yoshitsu” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: TKLF), a retailer and wholesaler of Japanese beauty and health products, as well as sundry products and other products in Japan, today provides a business update for its duty-free shopping services. With the inbound tourism recovery in Japan, the Company strives to explore the market opportunities of domestic duty-free shopping. The Company began providing pickup services since November 11, 2022, at its Urawa store and KoshigayaRyutsudanchi store in Saitama, Japan and its Hakuba store in Nagano, Japan. The Company has become the first company to offer pickup services at pharmacies in Tokyo and the first company to offer duty-free shopping service on TaxFreeOnline.jp ("TFO”) in Nagano.

As previously disclosed on a press release dated July 6, 2022, the Company partnered with Digital Transformation Service Provider, iEnt Co., Inc., a digital transformation (“DX”) service company that provides Online-Merge-Offline (“OMO”) solutions and operates a duty-free shopping website. This move marks a key milestone of the Company to enter the domestic duty-free E-commerce market for foreign visitors. Foreign visitors can now shop on TFO and pick up orders at designated places.

On October 11, 2022, Japan re-opened its boarders to individual travelers. According to a report by Kyodo News Agency, the Japanese government aims for annual tourist spending to reach 5 trillion yen (US$34 billion) as soon as possible, which, if successful, would eclipse tourist spending in 2019 by approximately 4.8 trillion yen. The government anticipates maintaining its existing goal of an annual 60 million foreign visitors by 2030. The Company plans to implement discount promotion activities for duty-free products and sweepstakes promotional activities at its retail stores to meet the demands of increasing foreign visitors.

Mr. Mei Kanayama, the Principal Executive Officer of Yoshitsu Co., Ltd, commented, “We are excited to see that the Japanese government opened its borders to foreign visitors, which should prompt the inbound tourism recovery in Japan. We strive to attract foreign visitors by providing TFO and pickup services at our stores, which offer them a convenient shopping experience during their stay in Japan. Looking forward, we will remain focused on providing unparalleled services and diversified selection of products at our stores. We are confident that our improved customer experience and promotion activities will attract foreign visitors and our strong capacity will meet the anticipated increased needs of foreign visitors.”
