As a medium to long-term management strategy, Juntendo is strengthening store expansion in the Chugoku and Kansai regions. While the company previously operated 150-tsubo stores, it now focuses on new openings and renovations centered on 300 to 1,000-tsubo format stores. Beyond standalone locations, the company is also expanding into commercial complexes and developing multi-purpose stores to achieve market dominance in its trading areas.

Regarding products and sales policies, Juntendo is strengthening the supply of "production materials" for agricultural and construction customers. In addition to reforming product assortment and sales methods, the company is enhancing services including customer service, custom orders, repairs, equipment rental, and technical support. Through partnerships with Shimane Agricultural Cooperative and the National Federation of Agricultural Cooperative Associations, Juntendo is reinforcing its foundation for supporting regional agriculture and improving business performance.
