Total sales for November 2006 were 114,808 million yen, up 2.7% year on year. Existing store sales were down 0.4%, and average daily sales per store were 462,000 yen. The average amount spent per customer was 580 yen, up 1.7%, and the average number of customers per store per day was 795, down 2.1%.
Customer numbers were sluggish due to many rainy days from the middle of the month.
By area, sales remained strong in major cities, but struggled in the Chugoku and Shikoku regions.
November 18 saw the start of a Miffy-themed campaign called the Happy Parenting Project. During the campaign, which runs through January 22, 2007, customers can collect points when they purchase selected items and exchange them for picture plates and other free gifts. The ready-made meal category, which is eligible for points, saw an improved performance as a whole as a result of this campaign.
No major improvement was seen in the rice dishes category despite the launch of a special lineup of products to celebrate the second anniversary of the Gohantei series and new hand-rolled sushi products.
In the fast food category, overall sales were up year on year, despite sluggish sales of Chinese steamed buns due to a warm November.
As of November 30, 2006, we had 73 NATURAL LAWSON and 76 LAWSON STORE100 stores, in addition to our nationwide network of regular LAWSON stores.
LAWSON is scheduled to announce its third-quarter results for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2007 on January 9. The earnings release and supplementary materials will be posted on this web site.
Monthly operation summary of December will be updated on January 11.
