Housewares owner IH Retail restarted operations across its Japan Home retail store network in Singapore on 20 August 2026 adopting a local franchise management strategy
IH Retail, the parent company of the Japan Home brand in Singapore, has announced the reopening of all Japan Home stores in the city-state. The transition to a franchise model was completed on 19 August 2026, with Radha Export Pte. Ltd., an indirect subsidiary of the Group, taking on the role of master franchisee. Radha, known for its experience in consumer goods and wholesale distribution, will operate the Japan Home business in Singapore, including the establishment of new outlets, for a period of three years.
This strategic shift aims to enhance operational efficiency, responsiveness to market demand, and brand awareness. The move is expected to support the continued expansion of the Japan Home brand in Singapore and the Southeast Asian market.
