For Investors
What is Gift Holdings?
Our company is a restaurant group that operates ramen restaurants and has expanded its business through stores both in Japan and overseas.
We are committed to every bowl of ramen we serve, continuously enhancing our operational excellence and brand strength while pursuing steady growth in our domestic business and accelerating our international expansion.
At the core of our business is our corporate philosophy:"Shiawase from myself."
We value bringing happiness to everyone we interact with—including our customers, colleagues, and families—and believe that this ripple effect leads to even greater happiness for others.
Our goal is to expand this spiral of happiness through Gift and the value we create as a company.
Business Overview of Gift Holdings
Our business consists of two segments: a company-owned store business that runs ramen restaurants across multiple categories, including IEKEI ramen, and a produced store business that provides operational expertise developed through our company-owned stores as well as supplies private-brand (PB) products.
The History of Gift Holdings
Our group's journey began in 2008 with the opening of our first store in Machida, Tokyo. Since then, we have remained committed to serving every bowl of ramen with dedication while building stores that are deeply rooted in their local communities.
Since then, we have carried forward our commitment to building successful restaurants and embracing new challenges, expanding our presence both in Japan and overseas while continuing to deliver value to people through ramen.
Main Restaurant Industry and Japanese Ramen Market
Unlike burgers, gyudon (beef bowls), and curry, where major chains dominate market share, a large portion of the ramen market is held by independent stores, leaving significant room for chain operators to expand their market share.
Gift's Strengths
1.Successful Restaurants in Any Location
While near-station areas and roadside areas require different store models, we have successfully established and operated high-performing stores in both areas.
2.Multi-Brand Strategy
The ramen market encompasses a wide variety of styles and flavors. Through a portfolio of multiple brands operated both in Japan and overseas, our group serves a broad range of customer preferences and needs.
3.Operating Through Both Company-Owned and Produced Stores
By opening company-owned stores in densely populated markets and produced stores in regional areas, we maximize sales and profit while maintaining profit margin.
