Gyomu Super Store, Shinjuku-Yochomachi [業務超市 東新宿店] is a local supermarket store of new rising Gyomu Super Store chain in East Shinjuku. Like other Gyomu Stores, this store offers low price, quantity discount [although it also offers small-pack merchandise in bargain price], but limited selections of the brands. Thus, customers won't find many selections for the same merchandise, such as seaweeds or packaged ready-to-cook curry mix, and such a strategy on brand selection does lower store's inventory level and lower the cost.
