Interact with all people with love
Bear Hug, which plays an active role in various business team tournaments, has been mainly engaged in manual therapy, foot therapy, aesthetics, chiropractics and store management for acupuncture.
“Over the course of the last six years, it has unexpectedly taken the current shape. Our philosophy is to interact with all people with love. We want to continue to do our work while interacting with people and this attitude is highly appreciated. In addition to our earlier lines of business, we are now also operating and managing hospitals, nursing homes, and kindergartens.
The Bear Hug Group’s sales now exceed 10 billion yen annually (roughly 94 million U.S. dollars). “If you look at the numbers alone, it looks like a big success, but the business has gone through a series of failures. In shiai kendo, there will be an opportunity to strike at least once, so we operate this business too with the intent of scoring an ippon.”
Bear Hug was founded in 1997 and currently has stores not only in Kanto but also in Tokai, Kansai and Thailand
