3 major convenience stores May sales significantly decreased from the same month of the previous year June 11 at 5:58
Last month, the sales of the three major convenience stores fell 5% to 11% compared to the same month last year. It is said that customers are returning due to the cancellation of the emergency declaration nationwide on the 25th of last month, but each company believes that consumption will continue to be difficult due to the restraint of going out.
Compared to the same month last year, sales at convenience stores fell by 11% at FamilyMart, 10.2% at Lawson, and 5.6% at Seven-Eleven compared to the same month last year.
Each company analyzes that this is because the number of customers decreased, mainly in stores in office districts and tourist areas, as consumers refrained from going out as the infection spread.
However, the fact that the declaration of emergency has been lifted all over the country is gradually returning to customers at stores in office districts.
Although each company has taken thorough measures to prevent the spread of infection and is strengthening its lineup of fresh food and canned chuhai, which are in high demand, consumption is expected to remain severe due to the restraint of going out.
