-T Points will be available for use at Yasusaki supermarkets from April (planned)-

Yasusaki Co., Ltd. (Head office: Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture; President and CEO: Masaharu Yasusaki; hereinafter referred to as "Yasusaki Group"), which operates supermarkets, clothing stores, home improvement stores, and other businesses mainly in Fukui Prefecture, and T Point Japan Co., Ltd. (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and COO: Kazuhiko Kitamura; hereinafter referred to as "T Point Japan") are pleased to announce that they have entered into a points program agreement. Starting in April, the T-Point service will be launched at Gourmetkan supermarkets, clothing and general merchandise stores Fashion Plaza Wai Wai Plaza, and home improvement stores Yasusaki Wai Home Home Center, all operated by the Yasusaki Group.

The Yasusaki Group's management philosophy is "Everything we do is for our customers," and since its founding in 1966, we have been providing services that enrich the lives of local residents for 50 years. In addition, in 1987, we joined the TSUTAYA franchise, and currently offer the common points service "T Points" at all four TSUTAYA stores operated by the group.

T Points, provided by T Point Japan, is a universal points service used daily by 64.43 million people across Japan and can be used in all aspects of daily life, including convenience stores, restaurants, clothing stores, drugstores, banks, mobile phones, and online shopping.

Through this partnership, customers with T-Cards will be able to earn and use T-Points when shopping at Yasusaki Group stores. Additionally, for customers who do not have a T-Card, applications for a T-Card will be accepted at Yasusaki Group stores.

The Yasusaki Group has introduced T Points to offer services suited to customer needs and diverse lifestyles, and will work on CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and product initiatives that utilize the T Points database. In addition, we are also considering entering into a "T Point agency contract" to conduct sales partnerships for the introduction of the T Point service to small and medium-sized stores, and will work to expand the T Point economic zone in Fukui Prefecture.

Yasusaki Group and T Point Japan will continue to offer a richer lifestyle to customers of both companies through the T Point service at Yasusaki Group stores.
