Aeon sees strong november sales driven by black friday success

Aeon Co., Ltd. announced strong operating performance for November 2025, driven by the annual "Black Friday Sale" and strategic initiatives to meet increasing consumer demand for value. AEON Retail Co., Ltd.'s General Merchandise Store (GMS) Business reported a 107.5% year-over-year sales increase for all stores and 106.3% for same stores in November, marking its ninth consecutive month of year-over-year growth. This success was attributed to special WAON POINT campaigns, online early sales, and expanded value propositions across various categories, with apparel sales growing for two consecutive months and food sales for 39 consecutive months.

The Supermarket Business also saw positive results, with same-store sales exceeding the previous year for the third consecutive month, boosted by Black Friday events and coupon distribution. Notably, FUJI's "Grandma's Ten-Ingredient Roll" won the Grand Prix at the "2025 National Supermarket Delicious Food Awards."

In the Health & Wellness Business, WELCIA Holdings completed a share exchange with TSURUHA Holdings, making TSURUHA Holdings the parent company, and initiated a tender offer to increase its ownership from approximately 41% to 50.9%, aiming for consolidated subsidiary status.
