The future of Sogo & Seibu, a loss-making major department store operator seeking a business turnaround, remains uncertain following its troubled sale to U.S. investment fund Fortress Investment Group in September. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2023/12/06/companies/sogoseibu-reconstruciton-uncertain/?utm_content=bufferc2055&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #business #companies #sogoseibu #departmentstores #seveni #tokyo #jobs #acquisitions

Sogo & Seibu was cornered into closing its flagship Ikebukuro department store in Tokyo, as its labor union launched a rare strike to express discontent over the planned sale of the department store unit. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2023/08/31/companies/seibu-sogo-strike/?utm_content=buffer5cda4&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #business #companies #sogoseibu #seveniholdings #departmentstores #unions #jobs #retailers

Japanese retailer Seven & I Holdings has announced the replacement of Takuji Hayashi as president of Sogo & Seibu in an apparent move to pave the way for a sale of the department store unit. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2023/08/02/sogo-seibu-president-replaced/?utm_content=bufferff66c&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #business #seveni #sogoseibu #departmentstores
