Ohga Pharmacy, which operates drugstores and pharmacies in northern Kyushu, presented its new business plan that calls for expanding the number of outlets from 73 to 100 and reaching 30 billion yen in sales by 2015. They also will begin selling food products at their suburban stores this year. In contrast, they will try to change the image of their outlets near urban cores to appeal to upscale customers by forming ties with salons.
