Last month's sales of five major department stores recovered significantly due to the lifting of priority measures such as prevention of spread, and all of them significantly exceeded the same month last year.
Five major department stores released preliminary sales figures for last month on the 2nd.
According to this, compared to the same month last year, Hankyu Hanshin Department Store was 42.2%, Daimaru Matsuzakaya Department Store was 22.8%, Takashimaya was 22.6%, Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings was 20.2%, and Sogo & Seibu was 12.3%. It has increased.
In addition to the reaction of last year when an emergency declaration was issued and the business of some stores was restricted, the number of people recovered due to the cancellation of priority measures such as prevention of spread, and last month, the price of watches and jewelry was high. This was due to strong sales of goods and increased sales of spring clothing and suits.
On the other hand, compared to April, three years before the spread of the new corona in Japan, sales of each company have dropped by about 10%, but some stores have exceeded sales before the spread of the infection. As there are some, I would like to try to recover the business performance this month including the long holidays.
