Cypress Holdings <428A>, which operates the Tsukiji Shokudo Genchan restaurant chain, extended gains. The company announced after the close on the 15th that it will launch franchise operations for the Ginza Sozaiten brand, a move welcomed by investors.

Ginza Sozaiten is a specialty store offering charcoal-grilled yakitori and bento boxes, originally operated by KS Frontier. Cypress opened its first outlet as a franchisee in July 2022 to diversify into ready-to-eat meals and has since expanded to 20 directly operated stores. To further scale the business, the company acquired exclusive brand rights from KS Frontier to develop the network as a franchisor. Cypress noted the impact on earnings for the fiscal year ending August 2026 will be minimal.
