RETAIL PROJECT LEVERS
(01) Japan Retail Reality
Japan retail is not just about finding a space
A good location is only one part of the equation. To work in Japan, a retail or pop-up project needs the right context, local partners, customer experience, staffing, operations, and follow-up.
We help you understand what to test, where to show up, who to work with, what it costs, and how to operate it properly on the ground.
