Business
Axial Retailing Inc. operates a chain of supermarkets primarily in Japan, focusing on the retail sale of groceries, fresh produce, processed foods, and daily necessities through its core supermarket segment; the company also engages in merchandise procurement and wholesale, food manufacturing and processing for in-store sales, and ancillary services including sanitary operations, insurance agency, software development, advertising print production, cargo handling, cleaning, and automobile sales. It conducts its supermarket business under the Harashin Narus and Fressay brands, with over half of its stores operating under Harashin Narus, and provides private-label products designed for cost competitiveness and resilience to market fluctuations in perishable goods. Founded in 1967 and headquartered in Nagaoka, Niigata Prefecture, the company maintains a regional presence across Japan, employing approximately 2,620 people and serving local communities through more than 100 stores concentrated in central and northern regions. In October 2013, the company changed its name from Harashin Narus Holdings Co Ltd. following the business integration with Fressay Holdings Co. Ltd., establishing its current structure; recent developments include executive officer changes announced on October 14, 2025, and August 8, 2025, alongside the release of financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and ongoing initiatives such as a personal investor briefing scheduled for December 17, 2025, in Nagano City.
