Isetan Mitsukoshi's department stores grow again in August, but not evenly
Isetan Mitsukoshi's domestic department stores grew again in August, led by jewellery and watches and still powered disproportionately by inbound spending — but the gain ranged from a 14.9 per cent jump at Mitsukoshi Nihombashi to just 1.2 per cent at Mitsukoshi Ginza.
Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings' domestic department stores grew again in August, with group-wide sales up 4.2 per cent year on year, according to the company's own monthly sales disclosure. The gain was far from even across its three Tokyo flagships: Mitsukoshi Nihombashi's main store rose 14.9 per cent, more than ten times the 1.2 per cent posted by Mitsukoshi Ginza.
