Fast Retailing has announced that their same-store sales in Japan have increased despite the ongoing impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic.
For the month of January 2021, the company has reported that same-store sales including online sales have increased by 2 per cent year-on-year, meanwhile total sales including online sales increased by 1.8 per cent.
The company commented: “Same-store sales rose year on year in January thanks to consistently cold weather throughout the month as well as strong sales of products that satisfied the continued strong demand for stay-at-home clothing and other items.”
At the end of January, there are still four Uniqlo stores that remain temporarily closed and 159 stores operating on shorter working hours.
