Uniqlo Japan's same-store sales jump 10.8% in September as a cold snap pulls in autumn buying
Fast Retailing's own September sales bulletin shows Uniqlo's Japan same-store sales up 10.8% year on year — the earliest, clearest read on how domestic apparel spending is shaping up this autumn, and a reminder of how exposed every apparel floor in the country is to the same shift in temperature.

Fast Retailing said Uniqlo's directly run Japan stores posted a 10.8 per cent year-on-year rise in same-store sales, including online, in September, with total sales across all its Japan-operated stores up 9.9 per cent, according to its monthly sales bulletin dated October 2.
