Japan’s leading household goods and stationery chain LOFT has announced the opening of a new branch at the Ito-Yokado department store in Chengdu, China on January 29, 2021. It comes as the company’s second store to open outside of Japan following their first overseas branch in the Shanghai commercial district Xujiahui on July 24, 2020.

The new overseas branch and its shelves will focus on family households which it is advertising with the slogan “They’re Sure To Have Something” (translated from Japanese).
