Casual clothing brand Uniqlo booked strong sales growth at its Japanese stores in August, after summer items sold well due to the continued hot weather.
The Fast Retailing-owned brand today (3 September) said same store sales increased 28.9% year-on-year, while sales at its own stores (which include new ones that are less than a year old) jumped 34.5%. Total sales including online were up by 34.2%.
“Same-store sales generated another strong performance in August, with the hot weather continuing throughout the month, and our advertised product ranges and other summer items selling well,” the company said.
Uniqlo closed one store and opened another during the month, taking its total to 834.
