- Kohnan Shoji Co., Ltd. is a Japan-based company primarily engaged in the operation of home improvement centers and related retail and wholesale businesses. The company offers a wide range of products categorized into home improvement goods including lumber, building materials, tools, hardware, paint supplies, working clothes and equipment, gardening tools and plants, material handling products, housing and plumbing supplies, and remodeling and renovation items. Additionally, Kohnan Shoji sells housekeeping products such as kitchenware, furniture, bedding, electronics, lighting, household supplies, electrical appliances, health and personal care items, footwear, clothing, cleaning, and laundry products, as well as automotive and leisure goods including automotive supplies, pet supplies, stationery, cycling products, sports and outdoor items. It operates multiple store formats including Home Center stores targeting general consumers, KOHNAN PRO stores specializing in tools and building materials for professional customers, CAMP DEPOT stores offering camping goods, and smaller Home Stock stores with original brands like EDLP and Lifelex. The company also engages in the leasing of commercial real estate and offers building maintenance services. Founded in 1978 and headquartered in Osaka, Japan, Kohnan Shoji has expanded its footprint mainly across the Kinki, Kanto, Tokai, and Tohoku districts of Japan, as well as overseas stores in Vietnam and Cambodia. The company operates approximately 600 stores and employs over 16,000 staff including full-time and part-time employees. Recent major changes include the 2023 merger with BeaverTozan Co., Ltd., making it a wholly owned subsidiary, and the acquisition of HOME IMPROVEMENT HIROSE Co., Ltd., also now a wholly owned subsidiary. In late 2024 and 2025, Kohnan Shoji opened new concept urban-style stores such as "gardens umekita," launched a logistics subsidiary Southernport Line Co., Ltd., and established a new medium-term management plan, Part IV. The company also expanded its geographic presence by acquiring Mitsuwa, a home center chain operating in Fukui Prefecture, broadening its network into new areas where it previously had limited presence. It continues to innovate with services like the KOHNAN Corporate Card and digital offerings such as KOHNAN Pay and Rakuten Point Card integration, reinforcing its market strategy for both retail consumers and professional clients. Kohnan Shoji is listed on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (Ticker: 7516.T) and reported annual sales of approximately 501.4 billion yen as of February 2025. Its business segments include retail home improvement centers, wholesale membership clubs for professional building and construction customers, and real estate leasing, targeting both individual consumers and professional contractors in Japan and Southeast Asia. The company maintains a strong regional dominance in the home center and DIY market, combining broad product offerings with specialized services for professional customers. This comprehensive multi-format operation, ongoing strategic acquisitions, expansion into logistics and digital services, and new store concepts illustrate Kohnan Shoji's focus on growth and diversification within the home improvement retail sector. The company’s headquarters are located at 2-2-17 Nishimiyahara, Yodogawa-ku, Osaka City, Osaka, Japan.
