~ Regional Revitalization Project to Create Connections between Producers and Consumers Lost in Corona ~
"Making the world interesting from a small space" Skima Department Store Co., Ltd. is a planet that operates "SEND", a distribution and distribution platform for agricultural, livestock and marine products used by more than 4,500 stores, including top restaurants in Tokyo such as starred stores. In collaboration with Table Inc., we launched a regional revitalization project that creates new connections between producers and consumers lost in Corona, and with the cooperation of regional banks and producers of agricultural and livestock products, we are particular about all over Japan. We will open an unmanned POP-UP shop in Ginza (Address: 2-2-2 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo / Hulic Nishi-Ginza Building 1st floor) using a free-selling machine ®︎.
With the theme of regional revitalization, there is also a board that introduces the secret stories of the birth of each product to be sold and the feelings of the producer, and it is designed so that you can walk around the store in a gallery format.
This time, Skima Department Store Co., Ltd. rented a temporarily vacant store, provided a vending machine "Free Vending Machine ®︎" that sells anything, and created a connection between producers and consumers to deliver valuable products "SEDX!" This project was born by providing "Cross)" by Planet Table Co., Ltd. It's a waste not to use such a good place! It's a waste not to deliver such a good product! The thoughts of both companies made this project a reality.
The products to be sold will be changed every season in the future, and we plan to sell the special products from all over the country one by one.
The store is open from 7:00 to 22:00 (scheduled to be open at the same time on public holidays)
In addition, the touch panel type vending machine used this time adopts a mechanism that reads the QR code from the signage with your smartphone, guides you to the online site operated by Planet Table, and purchases on the site. We offer a new purchasing experience catalyzed by vending machines.
