Sogo

Founded in 1830 in Osaka by Ihei Sogo as a retailer of used Kimono . Sogo applied to Osaka District Court for the Civil Rehabilitation Law on July 12 , 2000 . Since recent financial troubles, the chain has had to divest itself of unprofitable business lines including several stores in Japan (eg. Kokura and Kurosaki) and has raised capital by franchising out its overseas operations, which are now under separate ownership in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The root of the troubles was the failure of the president to be flexible and listen to advice about modernization. The company is now a subsidiary of Millennium Retailing . Hong Kong SOGO opened its second branch on September 30 , 2005 in Tsim Sha Tsui . Whereas the SOGO in Causeway Bay carries items in all product categories, the SOGO in Tsim Sha Tsui focuses on designer fashions.
