JAPAN: New Knitwear Line Boosts Uniqlo’s Oct Sales
Casual clothing store operator Fast Retailing Co on Tuesday posted a 9.1 per cent jump in October same-store sales, its biggest monthly rise since summer 2001. The Tokyo-based company, which runs the popular Uniqlo clothing stores in Japan and Britain, has attributed the growth to strong sales of its newly-launched cashmere knitwear line.
