Albis (アルビス株式会社, Arubisu Kabushiki Kaisha) is a retail and wholesale company headquartered in Imizu, Toyama Prefecture, Japan.
In December 1968, 10 managers of supermarkets within Toyama Prefecture came together to establish the Hokuriku Tulip Chain (チューリップチェーン株式会社, Chūrippu Chēn Kabushiki Kaisha) and to set up the headquarters for the cooperative.
The company again changed its name in July 1978 to Toyamaken Prefectural District Super(market) Headquarters (富山県地区スパー本部株式会社, Toyama Kenchiku Sūpā Honbu Kabushiki Kaisha), and then to Hokuriku Super(market) Headquarters (北陸スパー本部株式会社, Hokuriku Sūpā Honbu Kabushiki Kaisha) in July 1985.
The company is divided into two departments—retail and wholesale—and has expanded throughout Toyama, Ishikawa and Fukui Prefectures.
The company focus has been to champion the cause of the integrated supermarket, provide information on those working against small chain supermarkets, and offer proactive consulting services and support services.
