Medicine and food are the same source of lifeMedicine and food are the same source of life

We aim to be a company that proposes healthy lifestyles through food culture.

It is said in Asia that "medicine and food are the same source of life".  We believe that our job is to propose healthy lifestyles to our customers so that they can lead healthy and vibrant lives.  We also believe that the act of eating is the greatest tool for the communication and for building better relationship with family, friends, seniors, juniors, and colleagues and is the bases for creating bonds.  Furthermore, food plays a fundamental role in lifelines.  Within the food industry, only us, the supermarkets are able to deal directly with the customers.  Through food, we propose healthy lifestyles and serve as a tool to create bonds between families and society.

■ "Fudo" (local culture and climate) is "food".

Saeki Selva Holdings is a pure holding company with five area-specific operating companies under its umbrella.  These operating companies operate more than 50 stores in 8 prefectures (Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba, Ibaraki, Yamanashi, Shizuoka, Shimane and Tottori).
Japan is a long archipelago stretching from north to south, with a length of more than 2000 km.  Preferred textures and flavors vary from region to region, and food culture also differs throughout the coutry.  The local culture and climate give birth to foods, and foods give birth to the local culture and climate.  Based on this concept, under the holding system, each regional operating company directly operates stores to welcome customers.   As a local supermarket, we conduct community-based management that contributes to local food culture and healthy bodies.

■ Toward a new food distribution business model for the 21st century!

As the internet society permeates people's lives, we are considering developing a business  that networks real stores with producers, consumers, and local vendors via virtual by taking advantage of our nationwide network of local supermarkets that are closely tide with each community.  We have contents from all over the country's food scene, which we will aggregate into a website and present online.  We will not only deliver products from the producing areas, but also allow customers to pick up and pay for products at the stores where they always shop.  Taking advantage of our strength in having physical stores, we will provide safe and secure products by disseminating timely information on seasonal fresh foods and specialty products sold in various regions.  We will promote collaboration with like-minded colleagues to expand our network of information proposals.

■ To further contribute to the local community, we plan to go public.

Thanks to the local community, Saeki Selva Holdings has grown into a company that aims to achieve sales of 100 billion yen for the entire group.  We are planning to list our shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange to further contribute to the local community.  No matter how advanced our cultural civilization becomes, the importance of basic food will never change.  In our mission to "bring safety and security to the dining table," we will strive for further corporate growth by improving customer satisfaction and creating a win-win relationship with our employees and our business partners.
