Since Piku's launch in April, Groupon clone services are increasing at breakneck speed in Japan. The industry has been more heating up with entry from large Internet media, Recruit, and Groupon itself. Those players increase sales force to expand areas and run a lot of TV commercials on air recently.
In this situation, Kiramex, which is the second launched group coupon buying service, launches KAUPON STORES. The service allows services or restaurants to have their own group buying site. The company charges monthly usage fee for the system and sales commissions. Groupon also announced Groupon Store as a new platform, but Kiramex takes a lead in Japan.
