The Japanese retail industry has undergone significant institutional transformations since the collapse of the bubble economy. The once-dominant landscape of small retail stores has given way to a proliferation of chain stores, reflecting ongoing variations in the post-1990s era. This book offers valuable insights into the impact of retail density on the household economy during Japan's stagnant period. It explores various issues, including the background of the emergence of 100-yen retail stores and the strategic approaches adopted by these stores during the challenging economic climate. A comparative analysis is conducted between Japanese 100-yen shops and dollar stores in the United States, shedding light on employment compliance and factors contributing to the changes in Japanese distribution channels after the 1990s. The book also delves into the determinants of retail density in Japan, providing a comprehensive understanding of the industry's evolution.

The shift in consumer preferences towards supermarkets and the cheapest retail alternatives can be attributed to the stagnant economy and the changes in the large-scale retail store law that followed the bubble burst. This research work, with its up-to-date data and theoretical frameworks, holds significant appeal to business and economics students and researchers interested in Japanese retailing and related fields.
