A new wave in lifestyle retail with Kokath

LAUGFS Solutions recently introduced a premier lifestyle store chain under the brand name ‘KOKATH’. The KOKATH Lifestyle Store features over 500 categories of modern, high quality products from Japan at three affordable price points, a statement from the company said.

Conceptualised and designed using modern Japanese retail concepts, the first KOKATH store was recently unveiled at the K-Zone Ja-Ela shopping mall. It aims to cater to the myriad of lifestyle needs with a wide variety of high quality, value-for-money lifestyle products under one roof.

“We are venturing into lifestyle retailing with our very own KOKATH brand to provide our local customers with a unique shopping experience.

We have partnered with one of the largest Japanese manufacturers in lifestyle products to bring in high quality international goods that are carefully sourced to match our local tastes and lifestyle aspirations,” LAUGFS Chairman, W. K. H. Wegapitiya was quoted as saying in the statement. The newly launched KOKATH store offers over 500 categories of products for the whole family. Manufactured in Japan, these include unique items currently unavailable in the local market, as well as daily essentials ranging from home decor, kitchen appliances, bathroom accessories and gardening equipment to stationery, gift items, cosmetics, as well as seasonal items.

KOKATH’s online retailing platform - www.kokath.lk - was also launched together with the retail store. The site offers island-wide delivery, enabling customers to make online purchases from the comfort of their homes.

The KOKATH Lifestyle Store also features a self- service kiosk for the convenience of busy urban customers.

This will enable customers to sift through online product catalogues, check availability, place orders and make payments, with the option to have the product delivered or to have it picked up from the KOKATH store.
