Quoted from Hyogo Keizai+｜Economy｜Kansai Super to come under H2O, management integration with Izumiya and others
H2O, which entered a business partnership with Mandai at the end of July, will make Kansai Super a subsidiary in December. In February next year, the three companies Izumiya, Hankyu Oasis, and Kansai Super will be integrated. It seems they will keep each company’s store name while strengthening local character and brand value.
