Arishin Across Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Suita City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director: Kenichi Harada; hereinafter referred to as "the Company"), which operates the child development support and after-school day service "With You" nationwide, held an "Owner Meeting" for franchise owners operating "With You" in the East Japan area on June 28, 2026 (Sun) in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo. A total of 44 owners participated, and active information exchange took place in a consistently pleasant atmosphere.Background of the Event: "Horizontal Connections" and "Headquarters' Bonds" Supporting 420 Classrooms NationwideThe Company places the utmost importance on "deep bonds" that transcend the framework of headquarters and member stores, and "horizontal connections among member stores." The field of developmental support requires rapid responses to regional challenges and ever-changing needs. It is precisely because of a vibrant community where owners can share their success stories and concerns and support each other on an equal footing that the quality of individual classrooms has improved, leading to growth into one of Japan's leading networks with 420 classrooms nationwide.Part 1: Merging Headquarters Data with On-Site Expertise for Area-Wide GrowthThe meeting, held at the venue in Shinjuku Ward, began with an opening address by Representative Director Kenichi Harada. This was followed by a sharing of the numerical report for the first half of 2026 and a detailed analysis of inquiries. The report presented the latest market trends, such as consultations from "preschoolers (ages 3-6)" accounting for 49.8%, nearly half of the total inquiries, and the average sales trend in the East Japan area. *Period of aggregation: December 2025 - May 2026.This owner meeting also serves as a strategic conference to combine the meticulous marketing data held by the headquarters with the "live on-site knowledge" of the owners, aiming to achieve stable management at a high level for all classrooms. Following this, as the main program of the meeting, three representative owners actively engaged in the East Japan area took the stage for a cross-talk session, sharing their real-world management know-how.Part 2: Three Major Themes Discussed in the Cross-TalkReal-world operational insights and hints for problem-solving based on actual classroom management were exchanged one after another, and active discussions also took place during the talk session involving the audience. Participating owners expressed great satisfaction, stating, "Not only did we reaffirm our bond with the headquarters, but we also gained practical ideas that we can immediately apply to our own classroom operations."<Cross-Talk Themes>Specific initiatives for occupancy rates and user acquisitionStrategies and problem-solving for recruitment and staff retentionRelationship with the on-site staff and the role of the ownerExhibition of the Latest Educational Toys from Japan and Abroad, in Cooperation with Dream Blossom Co., Ltd.Concurrently, a sample exhibition of the latest toys was held within the venue, with the full cooperation of Dream Blossom Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture; Representative Director: Cameron Nagatomo), which is the general importer and distributor of excellent educational toys and materials from overseas. Among a rich lineup of over 1,300 items, including blocks, puzzles, and programming educational materials, participants actively simulated "how to incorporate them into daily therapy programs to stimulate children's spontaneity and thinking abilities" while handling the products."Continuous Improvement of Headquarters Support System" Reflecting Owner FeedbackThe Company views this owner meeting not merely as an opportunity for interaction, but as a crucial occasion to strengthen its support system. The "real voices from the field" and "operational challenges" gathered from owners during the cross-talk and opinion exchange sessions on the day will all be fed back to the headquarters.Based on the valuable feedback received, we will directly lead to the continuous improvement and strengthening of the headquarters' support system for member stores, such as refining training programs, developing new operational tools, and expediting daily consultation services. The source of the "With You" brand's reliability lies in the constant evolution of the field and headquarters working hand-in-hand.Comment from Representative Director Kenichi Harada"The driving force behind why we have been chosen by so many children and parents is the strong 'horizontal connections' among our owners and the 'deep bonds' between the field and headquarters. The community where colleagues with the same aspirations connect nationwide and actively brainstorm is our greatest asset. We will sincerely listen to the voices from the field, constantly update our headquarters' support, and build the infrastructure for developmental support in Japan together with our member stores."Future Outlook: Plans for East and West Japan Meetings, Aiming for 500 ClassroomsArishin Across Co., Ltd. plans to hold this owner meeting semi-annually and regularly in the East Japan area, aiming to establish a network of 500 classrooms by the end of 2027. Furthermore, to expand a similar vibrant community nationwide, we have begun considering holding meetings in the West Japan area. We will continue to enhance organizational engagement through regular opportunities for interaction and training, and strengthen our system to provide the highest standard of attachment support and therapy anywhere in the country through active collaborations with external partner companies.Company OverviewCompany Name: Arishin Across Co., Ltd.Location: Compano Bldg. 8F, 17-1 Enoki-cho, Suita City, Osaka Prefecture, 564-0053Representative: Representative Director Kenichi HaradaTEL: 06-6339-8400URL: https://across-inc.jpInquiriesArishin Across Co., Ltd.Sales DepartmentInquiry Formhttps://across-inc.jp/contact/
