Sogo & Seibu's store number FY 2015-2022
In 2022, the parent company, Seven & i Holdings, announced plans to sell Sogo & Seibu Co., Ltd. This resulted in a strike among employees at the main store in Tokyo prior to the finalization of the sale, the first reported protest at a department store in decades. The U.S. investment fund Fortress Investment Group acquired the company in September 2023.
