Sakai-ku, Sakai City, 2017-Feb-02 — /EPR Retail News/ — Shimano Inc. (President: Yozo Shimano, Head Office: Sakai City) will open SHIMANO SQUARE in the Knowledge Capital of Grand Front Osaka (Kita -ku, Osaka City) on February 8, with the aim of communicating the attraction of its products and creating and offering new urban sport lifestyle through cycling and fishing.
SHIMANO SQUARE, a place for “encounters,” “experiencing value,” “having a moving experience” and “physical and mental relaxation,” has a relaxing café and a lab that presents information about cycling and fishing.
In the Lab, there is a gallery displaying both old and new products of Shimano, and specialist “concierges” provide customers with individual consultation related to cycling and fishing. In addition, the Lab plans to organize a wide variety of events, including workshops related to bicycles and fishing. SHIMANO SQUARE also has a store selling various goods and sundries to help create a better quality of life..
We hope that SHIMANO SQUARE will provide an opportunity for even those who are unfamiliar with cycling and fishing to have direct contact with our products, and help them know how they can enjoy the world of quality cycling and fishing. We also hope that they will share their life-enriching experiences and values.
The aim of SHIMANO SQUARE is to create new values and culture by combining our “lifestyles with cycling/fishing” with various types of urban culture, people and values free from a traditional mindset. By utilizing the synergy generated here, we hope to promote the health and happiness of people around the world.
