AEON Monthly Operating Performance of Major Consolidated Companies in July 2024
July Sales Trends:
・In response to the record-breaking heat wave in July, shopping centers such as AEON MALL have introduced various programs to provide customers with a comfortable
and cool shopping environment, effectively serving as “COOLING SHELTER.” We expanded our product lineup to feature limited-time feast menus for families during thesummer holidays and energy-boosting dishes for the Doyo no Ushinohi , a popular tradition where people eat eel to nourish the body during midsummer. Alongside theParis 2024 Olympic Games, TOPVALU held its largest-ever “France Fair,” providing customers with the opportunity to experience the traditional French lifestyle throughall five senses. TOPVALU has lowered the prices of 32 carefully selected items to meet the increased focus on saving money amid rising costs. Additionally, we haverelaunched “BARREAL GRAND,” a low-malt beer made with “IBUKI,” a rare hop from the Tohoku region.
AEON Retail Co., Ltd. in the General Merchandise Store Business conducted a large-scale promotion titled “AEON SUPER Summer Festival” from July 12, offering up to
1,180 featured products, including special deals such as the “Pine-Bamboo-Plum （premium, deluxe, and standard）Exclusive Value Set” and luxurious feast menus.
Same-store sales have increased year-on-year figures for 2 consecutive months, thanks to strong sales of specialty products and air-conditioning appliances that met thedemand for sports viewing and summer vacation activities. For Doyo no Ushinohi , we enhanced our lineup with extra-large and super-extra-large Kabayaki (broiled eelswith a sweet soy-based sauce) meant for communal enjoyment, as well as skewered Shirayaki (salt-grilled eel without sauce) and Kabayaki products tailored toMillennials and Gen Xers. By division, net sales in Food have surpassed same-store sales for 23 consecutive months year-on-year, driven by robust sales of marine,agricultural, groceries, and delicatessen. Additionally, Health & Beauty Care, which experienced brisk sales of cosmetics and dispensing products, also posted same-store
sales for 29 consecutive months year-on-year.
・In the Supermarket Business, the number of same-store customers among the top 10 major companies has exceeded the previous year for 4 consecutive months, andsame-store sales have surpassed the previous year for 17 consecutive months. Maxvalu Tokai Co., Ltd introduced original TOPVALU products supervised by a renownedchef, expanding its selection of freshly prepared, in-store processed items to better cater to various needs. Moreover, in addition to opening stores and revitalizing
existing ones, the company scaled up its mobile supermarket business. This business features approximately 500 different products loaded onto vehicles, which are thensold at various stops in each area.
