- Starting September 1st, you can earn and use T Points at "Happy Drug"! You can also use T Money! -

Marudai Sakurai Pharmacy Co., Ltd. (Head office: Aomori City, Aomori Prefecture; President and CEO: Kiyoshi Sakurai) and T Point Japan Co., Ltd. (Head office: Shibuya Ward, Tokyo; President and COO: Kazuhiko Kitamura) have partnered to introduce the common points service "T Point" and electronic money service "T Money" at drug stores operated by Marudai Sakurai Pharmacy. We would like to inform you that Happy Drug will begin offering T Points and T Money from September 1, 2017.

Happy Drug customers can earn 1 T Point for every 108 yen (tax included) spent by presenting their T Card when shopping at the store. Accumulated T Points can be used for shopping at Happy Drug, with 1 point equaling 1 yen, as well as at T Point partner stores such as convenience stores, restaurants, and gas stations within Aomori Prefecture. T-Money is a prepaid electronic money service that adds electronic money functionality to the T-Card. If you charge cash to your current T-Card, you can use it at T-Money affiliated stores in Aomori Prefecture, including Happy Drug. With just one T Card, you can earn double points, both shopping points and payment points.

Marudai Sakurai Pharmacy will switch its own point service, "Hapimaru Points," to the shared point service, "T Points," in order to increase store usage by "Happy Drug" customers. The company also aims to attract new customers by implementing measures to encourage the 450,000 T members, who account for 34.4% of Aomori's population, to visit "Happy Drug" stores.

Marudai Sakurai Pharmacy and T-Point Japan will continue to strive to provide even more satisfying services to meet the needs of customers living in Aomori and the local community.
