Total sales for March 2010 were 137,464 million yen, down 5.9% year on year. Existing store sales on a consolidated basis decreased 7.6% (and 7.9% on a non-consolidated basis) and average daily sales per store were 475,000 yen. The average amount spent per customer was 549 yen, down 5.1% from the previous year, and the average number of customers per store per day was 846, down 2.6% year on year.
The rice dishes category once again saw an improvement in sales from the previous month, reflecting strong showings by products such as the Surprise Product Development Project's Jumbo Tempura Shrimp Bowl (498 yen (incl. tax)) and Beef Hamburger Steak Bento With Bacon (530 yen (incl. tax)).
Sales in the cooked noodles category were up year on year on the back of ongoing brisk sales of pasta and other products.
Sales in the fast foods category were firm, reflecting higher sales driven by Karaage-kun Honey-Mustard crispy Japanese-style fried chicken (210 yen (incl. tax)), which was sold in conjunction with the launch of the Spring Rilakkuma Fair on March 16, and a one-year anniversary campaign for L Chiki fried chicken (128 yen (incl. tax)).
In the dessert category, private brand products like Uchi Café SWEETS continued to perform well with sales rising year on year. However, total category sales dropped year on year because this year's Spring Rilakkuma Fair was launched two weeks later than last year, resulting in lower sales of Rilakkuma-related products.
Sales of tickets for large events, strong last year, were down as certain events were scheduled to start later this year, in April and May.
As of March 31, 2010, there were 9,761 stores in the LAWSON Group in Japan, including 91 NATURAL LAWSON stores, 886 LAWSON STORE100 stores and 116 SHOP99 stores.
LAWSON plans to announce its full-year results for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010 on Wednesday, April 14, 2010. The flash report and supplementary information will be available on this website soon thereafter.
