Japan is fast fashion Fast Retailing, the parent company of Uniqlo, recently announced the appointment of Akai Tamaki, the senior vice president of the group (Maki Akaida), as the CEO of UNIQLO Japan, the first female CEO in UNIQLO history.
The 40 year old Maki Akaida joined UNIQLO in 2001 and worked in UNIQLO store in Tokyo Ginza block, Shanghai, Japan and Niigata Prefecture, Japan. As a manager of UNIQLO store, she successfully built Tokyo's auspicious Temple store into one of the most popular UNIQLO stores in Japan. Its management ability was appreciated by the group, and then stepped into management. UNIQLO is facing challenges in Japan. By the end of February 28, 2019, the sales of Japan's local market in UNIQLO fell 0.5% to 491 billion 300 million yen, and operating profit fell 23.7% to 67 billion 700 million yen.
The number of new stores in the local market of UNIQLO is less than the number of closed ones. Tadashi Yanai, group chairman, has said that it will make strategic adjustments to the stores in the Japanese market in the future. "We need to think more about closing and refurbishment than opening stores. From now on, we can't keep those stores that have no reason to exist. We must think about what they can provide for customers and whether they have real functions. If the function of a physical store can be replaced by the electricity supplier, then we will switch to the electricity supplier. Of course, clothes only try to know whether size, color and material are good, so we will adopt a new business form combining online and offline. (see "ornate ambition": Sales and profits of XXX group 2019 in the first half fiscal year are all high, and Mainland China market maintains more than 20% growth).
Meanwhile, UNIQLO is stepping up its overseas expansion. The first Italy store will open in Milan, Piazza Cordusio, in September 13th of this year.
Maki Akaida is the third chief executive officer of UNIQLO Japan after the founder, President and CEO Ryui Masa of Xun marketing group. It is also the first female CEO in UNIQLO Japan. This time she replaced Takao Kuwahara, executive vice president of fast marketing group. He replaced Liu well as CEO of UNIQLO in autumn last year.
