TOKYO — In the fiscal year ending August 2026, Festaria Holdings Co., Ltd. reported a significant increase in same-store sales, jumping by 104.6 percent compared to the previous year. The company's domestic business saw notable growth across various metrics during this period from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026.
According to the monthly sales report released on January 13, 2026, the company experienced robust performance throughout the fiscal year, particularly in December when it achieved a same-store sales growth of 104.6 percent despite having one fewer weekend day than the corresponding month last year. This surge was driven primarily by strong bridal-related product sales, which offset a decline in gift demand and contributed to an increased average transaction value. Additionally, the company’s online sales platform showed steady growth due to enhanced gift promotion strategies and expanded usage of shareholder discount coupons.
The company also highlighted its efforts in acquiring new customers through collaborations with external wealth management departments such as bank private banking divisions and department store sales teams outside their premises. These partnerships have been successful in generating leads, contributing to overall revenue growth. As of December 31, 2025, the number of registered customer records stood at 411,000, marking a 6.1 percent increase from the end of the previous fiscal year, with an addition of 23,000 new registrations since August 31, 2025.
Furthermore, the company noted that inbound sales remained stable compared to the same period last year, indicating no discernible impact from deteriorating relations between Japan and China. Throughout the fiscal year, the total number of operating stores fluctuated slightly but averaged around 76 locations domestically, with minor adjustments made through openings, temporary closures, and renovations at select outlets. Notable changes included the opening of two new stores in Itochu Mall Suseoka and Newport Hitsujiaka Fashion Cruise, while one location temporarily closed in Seleo Hachioji.
