Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to examine the beneflt to the consumer of the Large Store Law.In Japan the goverment has continued to take the policy of protecting small stores. The Large Store Law that regulates the new large stores protects small stores, disrupts the management of small stores, continues to push up prices of goods, and is not of benefit to the consumer.In conclusion l propose to loosen the enforcement of the Law by administrative leadership in large cities. I believe a change in the attitude of municipal goverments will benefit of consumer.
