BOOKOFF GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED ( (JP:9278) ) has issued an update.
Bookoff Group Holdings, a major player in Japan’s reuse and secondhand retail market, continues to manage a sizable network of directly operated and franchised stores domestically and abroad, including a premium services segment. The group is gradually reshaping its portfolio, with minor changes in store counts and an emphasis on large, comprehensive reuse formats as well as expansion into overseas markets.
In February 2026, existing store sales in Japan rose 4.7% year on year, with total store sales up 5.3%, driven by strong demand for trading cards, hobby goods, apparel, home appliances, smartphones, and software media. The company further bolstered its network by opening a BOOKOFF SUPER BAZAAR in Chiba and a new BOOKOFF NOVI store in the United States, underscoring steady growth in core categories and a continued push into international markets despite a slight net decline in total group store numbers.
