Ikebukuro PARCO Set for a Spring 2025 Transformation
This spring, Ikebukuro PARCO will embark on an extensive renovation to adapt to the evolving market dynamics of the area. The renovation aims to reform the building's structural framework and reinforce the mall's core strength in fashion. In addition to this, the introduction of engaging POP culture content under the theme "Borderless, Hype, Culture" seeks to provide new value propositions that cater to a diverse clientele, regardless of age, gender, or nationality.
As part of this transformation, approximately 1,200 square meters will undergo renewal. Notably, the highly-anticipated "ChiiKawa Ramen Tonkotsu" will open on May 31, while the national debut of the women's brand "SORIN" is scheduled for June 27.
In a bid to enhance experiences, Ikebukuro PARCO is also launching a web content series called "WALK IN PARCO." This initiative will feature prominent personalities and creators touring the mall’s various shops, sharing insights on fashion, culture, and food items. The inaugural episode will feature model and actress SUMIRE exploring newly launched stores, including "emmi" and "FRAY I.D," along with the trendy fragrance shop "Aíam." The term “WIP” which stands for "Work In Progress" encapsulates the ongoing developments and the mall's commitment to continual evolution, visually produced by OFBYFOR TOKYO and directed by YUKARI.
