In the Tokyo metropolitan region, United & Collective operates a chain of roughly 90 restaurants, including “Teke Teke,” a chicken izakaya, and “the 3rd Burger,” a hamburger café. The company aims to create restaurants that are both delicious and reasonably priced.
If you kept 100 shares for less than a year, you may earn a 3,000 yen coupon once a year until 2020 (or a 10,000 yen coupon if you held for more than a year). ” However, after the holding period categorization is abolished in 2021, the sum will be “twice a year for 5,000 yen each.” While many restaurants have cut their perks due to the new coronavirus, United & Collective has increased its food and beverage benefits.
As of August 13, the share price of United & Collective is 1,206 yen, which means that the benefit is available for 120,600 yen. The benefit’s yield is 8.29%, which is extremely high.
Curves Holdings Co., Ltd (Stock code: 7085)
Around 2,000 “Caves” fitness clubs for women are operated by Caves Holdings across the United States. Curves is a women’s fitness club with over 2,000 locations nationwide. Curves has the advantage of not requiring reservations and providing an easy-to-follow 30-minute fitness routine. The firm was previously a subsidiary of Koshidaka Holdings, which conducts a karaoke business, but it was placed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s First Section in March 2020 as Japan’s first “spin-off IPO,” in which the company became financially independent of its parent company.
Along with the QUO cards, a questionnaire was delivered to shareholders in 2020. In 2020, shareholders received a postcard together with QUO cards, and by responding to the postcard, they received 500 yen worth of QUO cards and a voucher for five trips to Curves.
This means that for the entire year, I will receive 1,000 yen in QUO cards, so I am hopeful that the survey will be done again this year. As of August 13, the share price of Caves Holdings is 806 yen, which means that the benefit is available for 80,600 yen. The stock’s total yield is 1.08 percent, which includes the yield on benefits (0.62 percent) and dividend yield (0.46 percent).
