Convenience store Last month's sales declined for 6 consecutive months, but the rate of decline narrowed September 23, 15:43
Last month's sales at major convenience stores nationwide fell by more than 5% compared to the same month last year.
Although it has decreased for the sixth consecutive month, sales of ice cream and other summer products have been strong due to the severe heat, and the range of decline has narrowed compared to July.
According to the Japan Franchise Association, last month's sales at major convenience stores nationwide were over 905.9 billion yen on an existing store basis, 5.5% lower than the same month last year.
This was the sixth straight month of decline, but the rate of decline narrowed by 1.9 points compared to the minus 7.4% in July.
The main reason for this is that while the number of customers has continued to decrease significantly due to the effects of the new coronavirus, sales of summer products such as ice cream have been strong due to the severe heat. It is said that.
At convenience stores, demand for households is increasing, with the purchase price per person exceeding the previous year, so we would like to improve sales by strengthening services that deliver groceries and daily necessities to homes. It is said.
