Introduction

The Store Owners Club, operated by Tenpo Joho Service Inc. based in Chuo Ward, Tokyo, is set to host its monthly exchange meetings in May 2026 across six different cities in Japan. This initiative brings together various business owners including those managing multiple outlets, single-store operators, and entrepreneurs preparing to launch their ventures. Since its inception in 2023, the club has consistently held these meetings every month, growing its membership to over 300, along with a network of more than 1,000 outlets. The quality and quantity of case studies shared during these meetings have markedly improved, enhancing the overall experience for attendees.

Meeting Overview for May 2026

In May 2026, the Store Owners Club will conduct monthly exchange meetings in the following cities:

• - Okayama: May 11
• - Kobe: May 12
• - Sapporo: May 13
• - Nagoya: May 20

The meetings will be held six times a month in a face-to-face format, including food and drinks. Only registered members can attend these gatherings; however, prospective members considering joining are encouraged to inquire through the official website.

Purpose and Features of the Exchange Meetings

The primary goal of these exchange meetings is to share insights and details that are often missed through digital communication platforms like chat. Members who have successfully obtained properties share the rationale behind their choices, while those who have excelled in recruitment discuss effective channels and results. These gatherings promote active information exchange among business owners from various industries, including beauty, food, fitness, and wellness. Members consistently highlight the value of gaining insights from outside their specific sectors, which are often not available in niche communities.

Notable Case Studies from Past Meetings

During previous exchange meetings, several compelling case studies were shared, including:

• - A Pilates business that achieved monthly sales of 2 million yen within two months after acquiring a property.
• - Recruitment strategies employed by a wellness business that successfully opened multiple locations using coupon platforms to secure hires within a month.
• - Sharing of region-specific insights that are not typically available from franchise headquarters.
• - Reports of changes in booking numbers through Google Business Profile after implementing Local SEO strategies.

Complementary WEB Seminars

In addition to the exchange meetings, the club organizes bi-monthly WEB seminars for members, totaling over 44 sessions annually. These seminars focus on practical topics such as customer acquisition, recruitment, property negotiation, and Local SEO strategies. Both external experts and successful club members serve as speakers. Reports from these seminars include instances where members implemented strategies resulting in sales of 1.26 million yen from ticket packages or securing hires within a month after attending a session.
