Gift Holdings Maintains Double-Digit Sales Growth Amid Store Expansion and Refurbishments

GIFT HOLDINGS INC. ( (JP:9279) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Gift Holdings reported solid February trading despite volatile weather, with all-store sales in Japan up 21.0% year on year and same-store sales rising 1.5%, or 1.0% when excluding outlets temporarily closed for refurbishment. Customer numbers and average check continued to grow, contributing to strong year-on-year momentum in the current fiscal year, supported by steady network expansion from 275 to 279 company-owned stores and an ongoing refurbishment program aimed at sustaining performance.

The company temporarily closed one store for refurbishment in February and has further closures scheduled in March, following a higher level of refurbishment activity in the prior year. Preliminary, unaudited figures show that for the first half of the fiscal year ending October 2026, all-store sales remained more than 20% above the previous year, underscoring continued demand and suggesting resilience in the business even as growth rates moderate from the exceptionally strong prior fiscal year.
