Joyful Honda is the largest home supply store in Gunma. In addition to home supplies, one can find garden wares, baby things, pets, pet supplies, and art and craft supplies (on the second floor). The attached mall (Nico Mall) also has a hundred yen shop, a shoe store, a small supermarket, an arcade, a food court, and several other miscelaneous stores. In the parking lot there is a gas station and a McDonald's. It may not quite be 'one stop shopping' but as far as Gunma goes, it's pretty darn close.

Additionally, there is a botanic garden across the street with the garden center. There is a fee to enter, but it's quite pretty.
