Uniqlo August same-store sales rise 2.5 percent

August 2015 same-store sales at Uniqlo Japan, a part of Fast Retailing Group increased by 2.5 percent year on year while sales at its directly-run stores increased by 3 percent. Total sales including online sales increased by 3.9 percent during the month.

The company has attributed the rise in year-on-year same-store sales growth in August to summer ranges selling strongly in the first half of the month, and new fall ranges getting off to a good start as the weather cooled later in the month. The Group opened one new Uniqlo store during August.
