OKURA HOLDINGS(01655.HK)關閉三間日式彈珠機遊戲館及長崎中心
格隆匯8月31日丨OKURA HOLDINGS(01655.HK)公吿，旗下三間分別位於日福岡縣太宰府市大佐野2-1-1的BigApple.太宰府店("BA太宰府店")、位於日長崎縣長崎市住吉町6–4的BigApple.住吉店("BA住吉店")，以及位於日長崎縣長崎市住吉町1–5的Monaco住吉店("Monaco")的日式彈珠機遊戲館，將於2021年8月31日結業。
公司管理層充分考慮到自日於2020年1月爆發2019冠狀病毒以來，BA太宰府店、BA住吉店及Monaco的營運及財務表現惡化，加上2019冠狀病毒導致整體顧客人流自2020年初持續低迷，故此決定關閉BA太宰府店、BA住吉店及Monaco。
管理層認為，相比集團若干其他日式彈珠機遊戲館，BA太宰府店、BA住吉店及Monaco的顧客人流自2020年下半年起逐步回升，然而，儘管集團持續不懈地工作，BA太宰府店、BA住吉店及Monaco顧客人流復甦進度依然緩慢，因此以上三間日式彈珠機遊戲館持續從相關營運中錄得虧損。考慮到日式彈珠機行業整體不利的營運格局、競爭環境激烈，加上日其他形式的娛樂的競爭日大，管理層認為將資源集中投放於其他表現更佳的日式彈珠機遊戲館，以提升有關遊戲館的顧客體驗，同時關閉此三間表現較遜的日式彈珠機遊戲館以減少進一步的業務營運損失，對集團更為有利。
董事會進一步謹此知會股東及潛在投資者，於考慮(i)位於日本長崎市的腦神經發育障礙人士的就業支援中心("長崎中心")財務表現未如理想；及(ii)難以吸引及挽留具應對腦神經發育障礙人士經驗員工及潛在求職者，公司亦決定關閉長崎中心，自2021年8月31日起生效。
公司亦將終止於日本廣島市開設兩間相同性質的就業支援中心，日後亦不會營運類似的就業支援中心。
董事相信長遠而言，透過關閉此三間日式彈珠機遊戲館及長崎中心以改進資源運用及精簡營運，有助穩定及改善本集團財務表現，並符合本集團及股東的整體最佳利益。
