Domestic total store sales show generally stable growth year over year, with the monthly cumulative sales for total stores (directly operated and franchise) at about 30,856 million yen (fiscal year ending October 2026). Existing-store sales are roughly in the 100% band on a monthly basis, and overall store count is increasing reflecting openings and closures. New openings are 6\u20139 stores per month, closures about 3\u20135 stores, resulting in a net increase of 6 stores.\n\n### Outlook and Impact on Shareholders\nThe continued openings and stable operation of existing stores suggest expansion of the store network, with potential continued growth in overall sales. While store count increases present opportunities for sales, cost control and store operations efficiency remain important. For investors, the focus will be on balancing new openings with growth of existing stores and the improvement of ROI.","jir_financial_highlights":"YoY domestic total store sales: August 2026: around 107.7\u301c109.5% (YoY)\nYoY domestic existing-store sales: Fiscal period of October 2026: 99.5\u301c104.3% (YoY)\nTotal number of stores (domestic): Fiscal period of October 2026: 1,106 \u2192 1,136 (increase) (Net increase 6 stores (Fiscal period October 2026))","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#DomesticStoreTrends, #NewStoreOpenings, #StoreCountMovement","jir_key_figures":"YoY domestic total store sales: August 2026 period around 107.7\u301c109.5%\nYoY domestic existing-store sales: October 2026 period 99.5\u301c104.3%\nStores (total): October 2026 period 1,106\u21921,136 (net +6 stores)","jir_meta_title":"\u3010ABC & Co., Ltd.\u3011Monthly Domestic Store Sales Summary for August 2026","jir_meta_description":"Discloses domestic store sales and store count for August 2026, including new openings.
