Vicolomart Grand Reopening: A New Take on Shopping in Togoshi Ginza

In a vibrant twist to the local shopping scene, Vicolomart has officially reopened its doors in Togoshi Ginza, now boasting a significantly expanded space and a fresh assortment of products. This unique urban-style mini Costco, inspired by the original warehouse store in Kawasaki, provides a delightful shopping experience tailored for the community and visitors alike.

A Transformation Driven by Demand

The revamped Vicolomart reflects a growing trend in urban living, where the shopping needs of residents have evolved alongside the changing landscape of the city. Opened in December 2024, Vicolomart combines a florist's offerings with wholesale foods, tapping into the needs of an increasingly diverse population, including a rise in single-person households and a surge in tower apartments. The establishment recognized the challenges many face in accessing larger warehouse-style shops, and thus has aimed to facilitate an easy and approachable shopping experience without the need for a Costco membership.

In June 2025, the company underwent significant restructuring through an acquisition, with D Style taking over the management from the original owner, who shifted from a corporate career to entrepreneurship. This change has put a fresh focus on grocery and everyday essentials that cater to both individual and household needs.

An Ideal Location and Strategic Advantages

Situated in one of Tokyo's most bustling shopping streets, Vicolomart enjoys foot traffic from both locals and tourists, particularly on weekends when the area buzzes with people sampling various foods. Its prime location directly opposite the Ozeki supermarket ensures high visibility and convenience, allowing it to oscillate between everyday grocery shopping and a distinctive experience for special occasions.

Products are sourced directly from Costco's Kawasaki warehouse, allowing Vicolomart to offer an impressive lineup of popular items, including Kirkland products, which have gained substantial attention across media and social platforms. This not only gives Vicolomart a competitive edge in pricing power but also strengthens its appeal amongst shoppers who may find it inconvenient to drive to a Costco store.

Special Features of Products and Services

The array of offerings at Vicolomart includes bakery items, prepared foods, and frozen products, with something for everyone—whether for businesses or home use. A unique selling point is their small pack size options, eliminating the typical concern of buying in bulk, thus appealing to those wary of excess waste.

Additionally, Vicolomart has integrated a LINE account to facilitate pre-ordering and shopping assistance, making shopping easier for busy professionals, families with children, and elderly customers. More recently, the store has expanded its services to include wholesale supply for local cafes and restaurants, establishing a community-centric offering.

To not miss the excitement, customers can utilize a newly designed shopping environment that enhances the browsing experience. Instilling a sense of discovery is key—every visit promises the potential to find something new and delightful.

Advantages for Customers

1. No Membership Fees: Vicolomart eliminates Costco's membership fee of 5,280 yen, allowing anyone to enjoy a Costco-like experience without the financial burden.
2. Family-friendly Small Pack Sales: Customers can buy only what they need without worrying about excess quantities.
