Robinson Department Store (ロビンソン百貨店, Robinson Hyakkaten), also known as Robinson's,was a Japanese department store franchise run by Sogo & Seibu.
History
In 1984, Ito-Yokado, a company that co-operated with J. W. Robinson's backed by restructuring funds from the Sapporo branch of Matsuzakaya, started Robinson Japan (株式会社ロビンソン・ジャパン, Kabushiki Gaisha Robinson Jyapan). Following the next year, the first Robinson Japan store was open in Kasukabe, where the Tōbu Isesaki Line exists as it was outside of Ito-Yokado's area of dominance. Originally a Seibu Department Stores branch was planned in Kasukabe, but as Seibu's contract agreement was terminated during the construction, Ito-Yokado capitalize the opportunity to build the first Robinson Japan. This is in coincidence that the western exit of the Kasukabe Station is near the Kasukabe branch of Ito-Yokado.
