Yakuodo Posts Strong April Sales Growth on Higher Traffic and Spending

The latest update is out from Yakuodo Holdings Co., Ltd. ( (JP:7679) ).

Yakuodo Holdings reported robust April 2026 performance, with all-store net sales rising 12.5% year-on-year and existing-store sales up 6.3%. The gains were driven by both higher customer numbers and increased average spending, as existing-store customer traffic grew about 3.1% and average spend climbed 3.2%, indicating solid underlying demand rather than mere network expansion.

The store network remained stable during the month, with no openings or closures in April and a total of 458 outlets as of April 30, including several dispensing pharmacies. Compared with the end of February, the chain added two stores, one each in Fukushima and Ibaraki, underscoring a measured regional growth strategy that supports incremental revenue without significant footprint volatility.
