The company has not yet decided on the locations of the stores or the level of investment, but a spokesman said Aeon plans to have a total of 180 such stores by around 2008, reported Dow Jones International News.
Aeon, Japan’s largest supermarket operator in terms of group sales, currently operates six of the larger-scale low-price Super Center stores in Japan and plans to open three or four more in the current fiscal year to February 2005.
