An announcement from ARCLANDS CORPORATION ( (JP:9842) ) is now available.

Arclands Corporation reported that in March 2026 its retail business achieved a 4.5% year-on-year increase in net sales at existing stores, driven by a 4.4% rise in average customer spend while customer numbers were flat. Total net sales across all retail stores rose 13.2%, indicating growth from new store openings and network expansion in addition to higher ticket sizes.

The group’s food service subsidiary, Arcland Service Holdings, saw March net sales at existing Katsuya restaurants edge up 0.9 points from February to 98.4% of the prior year, as higher average spend of 2.7% partly offset weaker customer traffic. Overall net sales across all directly operated food service stores in Japan grew modestly to 101.8% of the previous year, showing resilience in the dining segment despite softer footfall and highlighting continued store network growth.
