Skylark Holdings GROUP Reports June Sales, Sees Sluggish Guest Numbers Amid Weather Disruptions

TOKYO, Jul 03 (Pulse News Wire) – Skylark Holdings CO.,LTD. (3197.T) reported its sales figures for June 2026, showing mixed results across various metrics.

Total store revenue was up compared to the previous year, but existing store revenue saw declines due to significant weather differences and typhoon impacts. Guest counts dropped by 1.4% percent, influenced by abnormal weather patterns and seasonal factors. Key highlights included multiple brand initiatives aimed at mitigating the effects of the rainy season through coupon distributions and menu updates. Notably, Gyu-Kaku implemented a grand menu revision featuring the revival of the popular "Japanese-style salad udon," while Bamiyan launched a promotional campaign offering discounted gyoza and ramen via their app. Jonathan's hosted a special promotion during Father’s Day, contributing to guest count stabilization.

In terms of store development, five new outlets were opened, including two Shabu Leaf locations, one Zisan Udon restaurant, and two Shinbachi Dining Group stores. Four Zisan Udon restaurants underwent conversion, along with one Pertica location. Additionally, Skylark achieved a consecutive second-year top rating “A” in the Supplier Engagement Assessment conducted by international environmental organization CDP. Skylark also noted that overseas operations continued to expand, with the opening of its first Taiwan outlet for Zisan Udon, which featured a series of popular dishes such as "Zisan Tamago Don" to boost average spending per customer. Radio promotions further contributed to increased foot traffic.

Overall, despite challenges posed by adverse weather conditions, Skylark maintained strategic efforts to bolster customer engagement and operational efficiency across its diverse portfolio.
