Fukuoka Jisho, operators of the large commercial complex Canal City, plans to differentiate the Canal City #2 complex it will open next fall from the shopping areas in the Tenjin district and the new Hakata Station building. Believing that creating a facility similar to existing operations is meaningless, they envision it to be the first center for fast fashions in the country. They also plan to reopen a venue for theatrical performances because they were disappointed that the Shiki troupe closed its theater in the city this May due to a drop-off in customers. Plans call for a new theater with more than 1,000 seats.
