TOHTO CREATE INC.

Company Description

Since TOHTO CREATE INC. founding in March 1991, our company has aimed at creating what we like to call "convenience stores that totally reuse local resources in your town". We have focused our business in the Tohoku and Kanto areas of Japan, and we have developed various projects throughout our history.

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in ecology and the environment, and with it has come a growing business interest in reusing and preserving raw materials. As a result, our business concept - "creating a store that's useful for all sorts of customers" - has been embraced by customers of all ages, and our company has been blessed with strong trust and support.

We currently manage 92 different stores within Japan, and our company as a whole deals in the purchase and sale of all kinds of products. These are our major stores, each organized around a single theme:
*Shops selling exclusively reused goods - "ODIN" : 33 stores
*Specialty shops doing sales within the Tokyo metropolitan area - "Eco-Station" : 8 stores
*Shops specializing in CDs, DVDs, and books - " Book Off"FC : 21 stores
*Shops specializing in precious Metals and brand name goods - "Hermitage" : 3 stores
*A shop selling large used goods - "Eco Market": 5 stores
*A shop selling used golf equipment - "Golf Partner "FC :1 store
*A shop dealing in used cars - "Car Seven" FC : 1 store

Our company is not limited to just these kinds of used goods shops. We are also expanding into internet business (Amazon / Yahoo Auction / eBay) and doing business abroad (exporting goods to Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, the Philippines and Korea, and launching stores there).

As a veteran of the reused goods industry, our company has forged connections with a wide variety of firms (such as manufacturers, wholesales, distributors, and service providers), as well as in government and regional organizations, and we work to maintain their trust as part of our motto. While continuing to do business in reused goods, we keep ourselves up to date with the latest inventory management practices, gathering a wide variety of other product information so that our business can supply any kind of material to fit the needs of our global buyers.
