Uniqlo Japan August same-store sales down 1 percent

August 2016 same-store sales at Uniqlo Japan, a part of Fast Retailing Group, decreased by 1 percent year on year while sales at its own stores decreased by 0.5 percent. The company said, total sales including online sales increased by 0.2 percent.

Uniqlo has attributed the decline in same-store sales slightly year on year in August to cooler temperatures in the first half of the month and heavy typhoons from mid-month onward. The company closed six stores during the month under review.
