Mr. Kosuke Aizawa of the Regional Business Department, Merchandise Facilities Division of Mitsui Fudosan, who gave an overview of the facility prior to the press release, said, “We have been developing Lalaport and Outlet stores in each area, but the Kadoma location has a thick trade area and is easily accessible from Osaka City, so we anticipated that it would be convenient for customers in the mid-to-wide area, and decided to exhibit the two brands together. The location of Kadoma has a large trade area and is easily accessible from Osaka City. （We hope to achieve further synergy by combining the everyday convenience of Lalaport with the extraordinary nature of an outlet park,” he said.
This facility is part of a large-scale mixed-use development project utilizing the former Panasonic factory site, dividing the former factory site into four city blocks. Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport Kadoma and Mitsui Outlet Park Osaka Kadoma will be the core facilities.

In the retail zone, a membership warehouse store, Costco Wholesale Kadoma Warehouse, is scheduled to open this summer on a neighboring site, and Mitsui Fudosan hopes to contribute to the creation of a vibrant town after the opening of Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport Kadoma and Mitsui Outlet Park Osaka Kadoma.
