TOKYOOctober 24 (News On Japan) – Off-price stores in Japan, which offer significant discounts on clothing and furniture, are becoming increasingly popular as inflation continues.
These stores sell brand new items at discounts of up to 90%, attracting customers looking for affordable options. Unlike outlet stores, which deal with excess stock of one brand, value stores offer a variety of brands and a wide range of products. This also applies to out-of-season items or leftover stock, which is why they can offer such deep discounts.
The appeal of discount stores extends from clothing to furniture. Stores nationwide offer luxury furniture at heavily discounted prices, often up to 80% off the original price. The rapid replenishment of new items ensures that customers regularly find new offers, which further increases the popularity of these stores.
Off-price stores are not only good for the consumer’s wallet, but also contribute to sustainability by reducing the waste of unsold new products. By offering unsold and slightly imperfect items at discounted prices, these stores help minimize the disposal of 150,000 tons of new clothing per year, promoting a more environmentally friendly shopping experience.
