Aeon opens a new-format neighbourhood mall on a shuttered GMS site in Mie
Aeon is opening a new-format neighbourhood mall on a shuttered general-merchandise-store site in Mie next month, trading a single big-box operator for a curated run of specialty tenants around a smaller anchor store.

Aeon Retail will open a new neighbourhood shopping centre, Soyola Tsu Sakurabashi, in Tsu, Mie Prefecture, on 11 September, built on the site of a general merchandise store the group closed in 2024, according to Aeon's own announcement.
