During the period, Gyomu Super opened two stores, resulting in 1,012 stores in total, an increase of 56 stores from a year earlier. As such, net sales increased driven by the continued coverage on many television programs and social media.
Our product shipments to Gyomu Super stores remained strong, with an increase of 3.7%from a year earlier to existing stores in directly managed areas, an increase of 9.5%to all stores in directly managed areas, and an increase of 9.3%to all stores nationwide.
In terms of our product trends, conveniently available frozen vegetables and items for commercial use such as restaurants have continued showing an increase in shipments year-on-year.
