樂購仕將關(guān)閉半數(shù)門店

Japanese electronics retail chain Laox said on Tuesday it was shutting down half of its 24 stores as a prolonged coronavirus outbreak keeps away tourists, a major customer base.

日本電子零售連鎖企業(yè)樂購仕7月28日表示，由于新冠病毒疫情持續(xù)導(dǎo)致游客減少，將關(guān)閉全國24家門店中的12家。游客是樂購仕的主要消費群體。

Laox duty-free stores had been popular with Chinese and South Korean shoppers looking for Japanese appliances such as rice cookers and electric toilet seats.

樂購仕免稅店曾經(jīng)頗受中國和韓國消費者的歡迎，他們喜歡在這里購買電飯煲、電動馬桶座等日本電器。

Inbound tourist spending accounted for around one-third of its revenue.

公司營業(yè)額的三分之一左右來自于入境旅游消費。

But the coronavirus-induced travel slump has forced the chain to rethink its business model.

但如今，新冠病毒導(dǎo)致的游客劇減讓樂購仕不得不重新思考其商業(yè)模式。

Laox said it was closing the 12 stores to cut costs and restore its cash flow.

樂購仕表示，關(guān)閉這12家免稅店是為了降低成本，恢復(fù)現(xiàn)金流。
