T Point Japan Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Keita Sugiura) and Culture Convenience Club Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Muneaki Masuda) have provided marketing and store planning support for the renovation of Super Autobacs Kyoto Wow Wonder City, which is operated by Autobacs Kansai Sales Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Masaru Sasaki), which has an affiliate agreement with Autobacs Seven Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Yugo Horii). The store will be renovated and reopened as "A PIT AUTOBACS KYOTO SHIJO" on Friday, September 16, 2022.

For approximately 19 years since its opening in September 2003, Super Autobacs Kyoto Wow Wonder City has served as the Autobacs Group's flagship store, enjoying the patronage of many customers, including local residents and visitors from other prefectures.

The upcoming "A PIT AUTOBACS KYOTO SHIJO" is the second store under the new "A PIT AUTOBACS" brand, following "A PIT AUTOBACS SHINONOME" which opened in November 2018. Following the opening of the first store, T Point Japan Co., Ltd. and Culture Convenience Club Co., Ltd., both part of the CCC Group, provided support for marketing and store planning using data entrusted to them by T Members. With the PIT at its core, the store will have a "BOOK & CAFE" and an event floor, where a wide selection of car accessories, books, and miscellaneous goods will be organically integrated to create a sales floor that will appeal to each and every customer, from car enthusiasts to students and families living in the neighborhood, and to those looking for a "car life that suits them."

This is the key point!
 "A PIT AUTOBACS KYOTO SHIJO" will open in September 2022 as the second store of the new "A PIT AUTOBACS" brand.
 We offer the largest selection of car accessories in Japan and will suggest products that meet your needs.
TSUTAYA BOOKSTORE offers a "BOOK & CAFE" style space where you can relax and enjoy a variety of car lifestyle suggestions.

[The thoughts behind "A PIT"]
As consumer values regarding cars become more diverse, the company was named "A PIT" because it aims to provide a "PIT" service that is tailored to each individual customer.
"A PIT" is positioned as "a pit for maintenance and tuning," "a pit that provides comfort and relaxation," and "a pit for both cars and people."

[Concept of A PIT AUTOBACS KYOTO SHIJO]

Based on the brand concept of "A PIT AUTOBACS is a pit stop for both cars and people," A PIT AUTOBACS is a one-stop shop for all things car-related, offering not only safety and security related to cars, but also a comfortable space to spend time with your car and suggestions for a car lifestyle, providing unprecedented discoveries and experiences.
On the second floor, we offer a wide range of products, including tires and wheels, car sports goods, and outdoor equipment, and we have expanded our offerings to include car sales, which were not available at A PIT AUTOBACS SHINONOME.
On the third floor, we offer one of Japan's largest selections of car accessories, including car air fresheners and car wash products, and we will suggest products that suit your needs, from bargain items to highly specialized products favored by professionals.

[BOOK & CAFE]

A PIT AUTOBACS KYOTO SHIJO will house TSUTAYA BOOKSTORE Kyoto Shijo, a book & cafe-style bookstore that will offer suggestions for car life (a life that is more fun and enriching with the ownership of a car).
We have a wide selection of books and magazines specializing in cars, such as vintage cars, garage life, and customization, as well as picture books and children's books that will stimulate children's curiosity about cars, and books and magazines about travel and the outdoors that will make you want to go out by car.

TSUTAYA BOOKSTORE Kyoto Shijo has a Starbucks attached to it, where you can enjoy coffee and drinks while reading books before purchasing them in an open, spacious space that extends up to the third floor. Not only does it provide a relaxing time while you wait for your car's maintenance and servicing, it also provides a place where you can deepen your attachment to your car and spend enjoyable time with your family.
Further details about the store's exterior and interior will be released in September.
