This move is part of Seiyu&#8217;s strategy to focus its management resources on operations in Honshu, following a similar withdrawal from Hokkaido. The transaction, for which the amount is undisclosed, is expected to see Yume Mart Kumamoto, a subsidiary of Izumi, taking over from August 1. Seiyu reassures that the Sunny brand will remain and employee employment will continue under the new ownership. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seiyu.co.jp\/assets\/images\/pressrelease_2024_04_03.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seiyu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20240403\/5010023945.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHK<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fnn-sunny-super-market_2022_WEB.jpg?resize=1400%2C1091&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Seiyu to Exit Kyushu, Selling All Stores to Izumi\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1091\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-149343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fnn-sunny-super-market_2022_WEB.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fnn-sunny-super-market_2022_WEB.jpg?resize=300%2C234&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fnn-sunny-super-market_2022_WEB.jpg?resize=1024%2C798&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fnn-sunny-super-market_2022_WEB.jpg?resize=768%2C598&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
