Daikokuten Bussan Co., Ltd.

Daikokuten Bussan is the manufacturing-retail company behind the extreme-discount store ラ・ムー. Its defining combination is extreme-discount stores (ラ・ムー/ディオ), low prices enabled by food wholesaling and processing at company-owned factories, and active store expansion. Headquartered in Kurashiki, Okayama, the company operates more than 200 ラ・ムー and ディオ discount stores across Chugoku-Shikoku, Kinki, Tokai, Hokuriku, and Kyushu. It also conducts food wholesaling and uses company-owned facilities to process fresh and prepared foods, supporting its low-price manufacturing-retail model, while operating discount convenience stores, 100-yen stores, and other formats. Its strengths are low pricing, manufacturing-retail integration, and rapid store expansion. The fiscal year ends in May.
