Total sales for October 2007 were 122,852 million yen, up 0.8% year on year. Existing store sales decreased 1.8% and average daily sales per store were 472,000 yen. The average number of customers per store per day was 821, down 1.0%, and the average amount spent per customer was 572 yen, down 0.9%.
In the rice dishes category, rice ball and sushi sales were strong. However, overall sales decreased year on year as sales of boxed lunches failed to recover.
Sales improved in the fast food category, partly due to a campaign offering oden (a Japanese hotpot dish) at a flat price of 70-yen per item. The launch of different regional flavors of Karaage-kun, crispy Japanese-style fried chicken, also lifted sales.
The dessert category continued to perform well thanks to new product launches and efforts to strengthen merchandise assortments at stores.
In November, LAWSON will continue to strengthen merchandise assortments that are matched to individual store locations.
As of October 31, 2007, in addition to our nationwide network of regular LAWSON stores, we had 95 NATURAL LAWSON and 70 LAWSON STORE100 stores.
LAWSON announced its interim results for the fiscal year ending February 29, 2008, on October 10, 2007. The earnings release and supplementary materials can be found on this web site.
LAWSON plans to announce its third-quarter results for the fiscal year ending February 29, 2008 on January 8, 2008.
