TOKYO, Jun 10 (Pulse News Wire) – Trial Holdings,inc. (141A.T) reported robust monthly sales growth for its fiscal year ending June 2026.
In May, existing store revenue increased by 103.6%, marking the highest growth rate so far this fiscal year. Customer traffic also saw a notable rise, up 99.8%. The favorable weather conditions, characterized by more sunny days and higher average temperatures, contributed significantly to the strong performance, particularly in seasonal summer goods demand. Sales across all categories outpaced last year's results, driven by various factors. Grocery items such as non-alcoholic beer performed well, while daily essentials like eggs and ice cream, along with private brand products like "Limit Filled Jelly" and "Cream Puffs," gained customer support. Fresh produce, including onions, potatoes, apples, avocados, and kiwi fruits, showed steady growth.
Seafood items like salmon slices and private brand "Shrimp Cocktail" also contributed positively. Non-food items such as food wrap film and household vinyl gloves experienced significant increases, alongside outdoor leisure supplies and seasonal home appliances. In terms of apparel, the private brand "AIRITY" summer functional innerwear was highly appreciated among both men and women customers. On the retail front, two new stores were opened—one in Chiba Prefecture and another in Fukuoka Prefecture—while no closures occurred. Additionally, two stores underwent major renovations, expanding their floor space and transitioning from smart format to supercenter format. TRIAL Holdings noted that these figures are preliminary based on POS data and may differ from final accounting figures.
The company highlighted that detailed breakdowns for West Friend stores' existing and total store sales compared to the previous month would begin with the July 2026 report.
