AEON Chatan Shopping Center

AEON Chatan Shopping Center (イオン北谷ショッピングセンター) is a shopping center located in the Mihama district of Chatan, Nakagami District, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, within the American Village area. It is operated and managed by AEON Ryukyu Co., Ltd., a regional operating company of the AEON Group. The center opened on November 6, 1998, originally with the core store named Jusco Chatan Store. On March 1, 2011, the core store was renamed AEON Chatan Store as part of a group-wide rebranding of Jusco stores to the AEON banner. The facility consists of the core AEON Chatan store and approximately 65 specialty shops. The AEON Chatan store offers food, liquor, daily necessities, clothing for women, men, and children, shoes, bags, wallets, seasonal goods, travel items, bedding, rugs, curtains, towels, cleaning supplies, kitchenware, and more. The center also houses a variety of tenants including Starbucks Coffee, Mister Donut, Yappari Steak, Honeys, Shoo La Rue, Coo&RIKU, Miyawaki Shoten, ASBee, Hanamaru Udon, Sukiya, Mac House, ABC-Mart, Village Vanguard, Nitori, Daiso, Best Denki, and Molly Fantasy. The center provides 2,150 parking spaces and is accessible by bus from the Mihama American Village South Entrance bus stop, about a one-minute walk away. AEON Ryukyu Co., Ltd., headquartered in Haebaru, Okinawa, was founded on March 1, 1975, and operates 68 stores across Okinawa, including AEON and AEON Style stores, MaxValu supermarkets, The Big discount stores, and drugstores. The company changed its name to AEON Ryukyu in May 2011. The AEON Chatan Shopping Center is one of its key shopping center locations in the central Okinawa area.

AEON Chatan Shopping Center opened on November 6, 1998, as part of AEON Ryukyu's expansion in Okinawa. The core store was originally named Jusco Chatan Store, reflecting the Jusco brand that AEON used for its general merchandise stores at the time. The shopping center was developed within the American Village area of Chatan, a popular commercial and entertainment district. On March 1, 2011, the core store was renamed AEON Chatan Store, along with four other Jusco stores in Okinawa (AEON Naha, AEON Haebaru, AEON Gushikawa, and AEON Nago), as part of AEON Group's nationwide rebranding of Jusco to AEON. In May 2011, the operating company changed its name from Ryukyu Jusco Co., Ltd. to AEON Ryukyu Co., Ltd. The shopping center celebrated its 20th anniversary on November 6, 2018. On April 1, 2020, free plastic bag distribution ended at all AEON directly operated stores nationwide, including AEON Chatan. On March 1, 2022, operating hours were changed at all five AEON stores operated by AEON Ryukyu, including AEON Chatan. Over the years, the tenant mix has evolved. For example, the Hash Ash store closed on January 22, 2021, and was replaced by Shoo La Rue on April 1, 2021. As of April 2022, the center housed approximately 65 specialty shops alongside the core AEON store.
