Overview

THE SEIYU hopes to see you at one of its stores. One of Japan's top retailers, SEIYU runs about 370 stores, including supermarkets and general merchandise stores. Merchandise includes food, apparel, and household goods (under international brands or SEIYU's own brands). Company flags include SEIYU, Sunny, and SSV. (supermarkets) and Livin (department stores). Some stores anchor another main endeavor -- large shopping centers called The Mall. Its nijicom business sells mobile phones and related accessories. The debt-laden company has been unloading unprofitable operations. The world's largest retailer Wal-Mart Stores began accumulating SEIYU shares in 2002 and now owns about 95% of the money-losing company.
