Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Executive Officer, Chief Vietnam Business Officer of AEON (Japan), General Director of AEON Vietnam Tezuka Daisuke said: “We believe that AEON Hải Dương will not only contribute to the local economic development but also create around 1,000 new job opportunities, help promote the consumption of high-quality local products from Hải Dương Province and make a positive contribution to the region’s sustainable development.”

“AEON has become an indispensable part of people’s lives in Japan and Việt Nam. I think it is wonderful that the urban development process in many regions of Việt Nam is progressing, and AEON is playing a role in that. The AEON Hải Dương Shopping Centre project truly reflects the continued expansion of AEON Vietnam’s business activities,” said Ambassador of Japan to Vietnam Naoki Ito.

Việt Nam is identified by the AEON Group as its second key market after Japan, with a mission to enhance customer experience and meet increasing needs through a modern retail ecosystem. To achieve this, AEON is accelerating investment by strengthening its market presence and investing in infrastructure and retail expansion to meet growing demand.

The company is expanding its market presence by enhancing accessibility through opening more stores and shopping malls in key cities, targeting emerging urban areas with rising demand for modern retail solutions, and developing diverse retail formats to cater to evolving customer needs
