Seria (JP3423520000) reported companywide August 2026 sales growth of 13.60 percent, while existing-store sales increased 9.70 percent year over year. As Japan IR reported on September 7, 2026, directly managed stores totaled 2,134 at the end of August.

August sales broaden the recovery

The August figures show that Seria's sales increase was not limited to new locations. Existing stores grew 9.70 percent, while customer traffic and average spending were identified as separate components of the monthly performance in the company disclosure.

Seria also opened 6 directly managed stores and closed 1 during August 2026. The directly managed network therefore expanded by 5 locations during the month, reaching 2,134 stores, alongside 33 franchise locations.

First-quarter profit moves higher

For the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, net sales reached JPY 69.60 billion, up 15.00 percent from the same period a year earlier. According to Note, quarterly net profit rose 50.10 percent to JPY 4.20 billion in the April through June 2026 period.

Operating profit increased 48.70 percent to JPY 6.16 billion in the same quarter, lifting the operating profit margin to 8.90 percent from 6.90 percent. The combination of double-digit sales growth and wider margins gives the August sales update more weight than a simple store-count expansion story.

Sales momentum meets a larger network

Seria's reported figures connect three measurable trends: August companywide sales growth of 13.60 percent, 2,134 directly managed stores and first-quarter net sales growth of 15.00 percent. The comparison matters because existing-store sales also rose 9.70 percent, indicating that the established network contributed to the increase.

Japan IR identifies Seria Co., Ltd. as a discount-store operator with ticker 2782.T and Tokyo Stock Exchange listing information. The company remains centered on its 100-yen retail format, making customer traffic, average spending and store productivity important indicators for the next monthly update.
