樂(lè)購(gòu)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(lè)購(gòu)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(guó)24家門店中的12家。游客是樂(lè)購(gòu)仕的主要消費(fèi)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(lè)購(gòu)仕免稅店曾經(jīng)頗受中國(guó)和韓國(guó)消費(fèi)者的歡迎，他們喜歡在這里購(gòu)買電飯煲、電動(dòng)馬桶座等日本電器。

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

公司營(yíng)業(yè)額的三分之一左右來(lái)自于入境旅游消費(fèi)。

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(lè)購(gòu)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(lè)購(gòu)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。
