Tempo's Aomori Namioka Store Opening

Tempo Busters, a company specializing in the sale of kitchen equipment and support for restaurant management, will open its Aomori Namioka store on October 5, 2026. Located within the Aeon Town Namioka in Aomori City, this will be the company's fourth new store this fiscal year. The Namioka store is easily accessible from the Route 7 bypass, making it convenient for restaurant owners from Aomori City and the wider Tsugaru region, including cities like Hirosaki and Goshogawara.

The Namioka store will provide a wide range of items needed for restaurant operations, including commercial refrigerators, ice machines, sinks, work tables, chairs, and tables, many of which are large and heavy. Thanks to its roadside location, the store aims to facilitate the purchase, replacement, and consultation of kitchen equipment and restaurant supplies, offering robust support to restaurants throughout Aomori Prefecture.

Regional Focus and Varied Needs

Aomori Prefecture hosts approximately 7,417 restaurants, with numerous locally rooted establishments thriving in Aomori City, Hirosaki City, and Goshogawara City. The Tsugaru region is famous for its unique culinary traditions, such as the popular niboshi (dried sardine) ramen, and it boasts a rich variety of dining cultures, including izakayas, Japanese and Western cuisine restaurants. Hirosaki is particularly noted for its cafes and confectioneries that creatively utilize local apples.

Each restaurant has different needs when it comes to kitchen equipment and supplies. With nearly 30 years of experience in supporting restaurant openings and management, Tempo Busters is well-equipped to cater to the voice of local restaurant owners. The Namioka store will offer products tailored to the specific type, scale, and budget considerations of various restaurants, ensuring a customized selection of goods.

Products include both new and second-hand kitchen equipment, such as refrigerators, ice machines, and gas ranges, as well as essential tools and furnishings for restaurant startup operations. Rather than merely stocking products, the approach will reflect a commitment to understanding what each unique establishment requires.

Diverse Solutions for Restaurant Startups

If a desired product isn't available in-store, the Namioka location can source items from the national inventory of second-hand kitchen equipment. It's crucial for new restaurant owners to procure numerous appliances and equipment at once, including refrigerators, heating devices, sinks, and tables. By combining new and refurbished items based on budgetary requirements, startups may significantly reduce their initial investment costs while ensuring key components meet their specific standards.

Tempo Busters leverages its extensive network and almost three decades of experience to design each restaurant's kitchen setup according to its unique budget.

Comprehensive Support Through the Restaurant Lifecycle

Tempo's mission aims to increase the survival rate of restaurants from 45% to 90% over five years. To accomplish this, it goes beyond simply selling kitchen equipment. Aspiring restaurant owners must navigate various challenges before opening, including property searches, layout planning, and hiring staff. After launch, hurdles such as labor shortages, rising costs, equipment wear, and operational improvements emerge. Expansion or relocation opportunities may also arise, necessitating different strategies.

When a restaurant closes, Tempo Busters ensures the proper transition of kitchen equipment and supplies to new establishments. This holistic support reflects the company’s commitment to assisting restaurants through every phase of their lifecycle—from preparation to daily operations, equipment upgrades, relocations, and closing procedures. The Namioka store aims to be a resource for local restaurant owners, inviting them to consult on various aspects of management.

As Tempo Busters expands its presence, it focuses not only on increasing the number of stores but also on enriching the resourcefulness of each establishment. It strives to cultivate the Namioka store into a pivotal hub for Tsugaru region restaurateurs, helping them navigate their business challenges effectively. With a target of opening 25 new stores this fiscal year, the company is poised to make a significant impact on the region’s culinary landscape.
