Adastria reports strong August sales driven by summer demand

Adastria Co., Ltd. reported robust monthly sales figures for August 2025 (FY2026/02), with all-store sales at 109.6% and same-store sales at 104.4% of the previous year. This growth was primarily attributed to strong sales of summer products, driven by continued high temperatures and increased demand for outings during the summer vacation period. Autumn products also saw increased sales later in the month. A holiday increase contributed an estimated 1.3-point positive impact on same-store sales.

Key brands like LOWRYS FARM, studio CLIP, LEPSIM, and LAKOLE demonstrated strong performance. Trendy apparel made of breathable materials, short-sleeved jackets, and checked pattern long-sleeved shirts were particularly popular. Fashion accessories such as sandals and shoulder bags, along with household goods like sofas, also sold well due to a furniture fair.

The company's store network saw minor changes, with 6 new stores opened and 5 stores closed in August, bringing the total number of stores to 1,322 by month-end. This includes 1,251 direct-run stores, 6 franchise stores, and 65 online stores.
