It sells a wide range of products, from Rolexes to snacks to adult toys. He returned as a board director in 2019, after having stepped down as CEO and chairman in 2015. Yasuda's title at Pan Pacific is now founding chairman and supreme advisor. Supermarket UNY, formerly a part of retail and convenience-store operator FamilyMart UNY, is a 100% subsidiary.
