The all-format year-over-year comparison has generally hovered around 100%, with customer counts notably remaining above the prior year. However, average spend has been persistently low at around 90%, preventing improvement in sales mix. The real YoY for September 2026 was 101.6%, which is essentially flat once calendar effects are excluded. Monthly topics report expansion of all-you-can-drink and drink offerings at Teketeke and expansion of stores offering the Honjiki Salt Tsukune all-you-can-eat-and-drink, indicating continued strengthening of promotional activities.\n\n### Future Focus Areas and Outlook\nMeasures to expand the store network and stabilize sales and customer counts at existing stores will continue. In particular, expanded promotions for the Teketeke format and introduction of new menu items may contribute to increased customer counts in the next fiscal period. Meanwhile, sustained pricing strategies and enhancement of product added value will be required to improve average spend. In upcoming quarters, evaluating promotional effectiveness and the contribution of new stores are expected to be key indicators.","jir_financial_highlights":"All-format real Year-over-Year: 101.6% (YoY +0.8pt (after calendar adjustment))\nSales (total) Year-over-Year: Unknown (Unknown)\nCustomer count (all formats) Year-over-Year: Unknown (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#United&Collective, #MonthlyTrends, #PromotionalActivities","jir_key_figures":"All-format real Year-over-Year: 101.6%\nNumber of applicable stores: 76\uff5e83 (as disclosed at month-end)\nCustomer count Year-over-Year: 102.0%\u301c108.7%","jir_meta_title":"United & Collective Co., Ltd. - Monthly Trends and Store Count Movements\uff5cSeptember 2026","jir_meta_description":"Summary for investors of United & Collective's store count trends, existing-store year-over-year comparisons, real YoY, and expansion of promotional activities for September 2026.
