At Home's Innovative Store Opening and Closing Research Map (Beta Version)
At Home Co., Ltd., based in Ota-ku, Tokyo, has recently initiated the provision of an innovative tool named the
Store Opening and Closing Research Map (Beta Version). This new service enables users to view the history of store openings and closings on a map, thereby facilitating informed decisions in the real estate sector. The company's president, Yasunori Tsurumori, emphasizes the importance of leveraging data to support the digital transformation (DX) of all stakeholders involved in the real estate business.
Overview and Background of the Research Map
The
Store Opening and Closing Research Map harnesses information from public administrative entities related to business permits, which At Home meticulously collects and curates using its unique methodology. This platform systematically organizes past store opening and closing data, allowing users to examine such information at the building or individual store level. The service is available to anyone affiliated with At Home, making it an accessible resource for real estate professionals.
This initiative aims to address the pressing needs of real estate operators who wish to visualize the dynamics of store openings and closings on a digital map. By utilizing this research map, real estate professionals can rapidly access data that would previously have required extensive manual investigation, thus promoting the digital advancement of property research practices.
Initially, the service focuses on select areas of Tokyo, providing details primarily about restaurants, with plans for expanding into more regions and including additional industries such as beauty salons and healthcare facilities in the future. Notably, by June 2025, information on dining establishments and more in parts of Tokyo will be readily available.
