February 2026 Monthly Sales (Preliminary)

Performance Overview

Sales at all directly managed stores in February 2026 reached ¥8,251 million (YoY 100.4%), marking a record high. In contrast, existing store sales were ¥8,000 million (YoY 99.5%), slightly below the previous year, mainly due to external factors such as adverse weather conditions including heavy snowfall. Although customer count decreased to 98.1% YoY, average spending per customer increased to 102.4% YoY, supported by strong sales of high value-added products such as the New Kyokuou 7 series, resulting in steady overall performance. Company-wide sales (including franchise shipments) set a new record for the same month for 49 consecutive months.

Key Initiatives and Future Outlook

We continued investing in human resources aimed at improving QSC, conducting cooking training and developing customer service trainers. We strengthened sales of the high value-added 'New Kyokuou 7 series' and launched the 'Gyoza Club Customer Appreciation Campaign' to enhance customer loyalty and frequency of visits. Additionally, we implemented diverse promotional measures such as draft beer discount coupon campaigns and official app coupon distribution to bolster customer attraction. Going forward, we will continue to unite company-wide to realize 'stores praised by customers.'
