「As opportunities for consumers to dine out and go out increased with the easing of COVID-19 restrictions on activities, demand for meals at home declined substantially.」

「As opportunities for consumers to dine out and go out increased markedly with the easing of COVID-19 restrictions on activities, demand for meals at home declined substantially as a reaction. Customer numbers and purchase frequency also declined as consumers became more focused on protecting household finances in response to reduced real purchasing power caused by various price increases.」
Demand for meals at home declined substantially as opportunities for dining out and going out increased after the easing of activity restrictions, while reduced real purchasing power due to price increases also contributed to declines in customer numbers and purchase frequency. - FY2022-Q3Decline in customer numbers and sluggish growth in average spend per customerAnnual report
「However, from October, after the state of emergency was lifted, opportunities to go out and eat out increased as foot traffic picked up, intensifying the declining trend in the number of store visitors. In addition to the backlash from exceptional demand for home consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic in the previous year, average spend per customer remained sluggish as consumers became more focused on protecting their household finances due to soaring gasoline and kerosene prices and other factors, resulting in revenue falling below the same period of the previous year.」
The disclosure describes changes in product and customer trends: customer numbers declined as the special demand for meals at home subsided and population movement resumed, while average spend per customer remained sluggish as concerns about household finances strengthened. - FY2022-Q2Strong sales of fruit, prepared foods and summer products alongside sluggish growth in visit frequencyAnnual report
「Demand for stay-at-home consumption and meals at home has continued due to repeated calls to refrain from nonessential and nonurgent outings. Fruit, prepared foods and summer products performed well due to the record heat in July and August, but customer visit frequency has remained sluggish, partly due to efforts to limit population movement.」
Fruit, prepared foods and summer products performed well on stay-at-home and at-home dining demand and the hot weather, while visit frequency remains sluggish due to efforts to limit population movement. - FY2021Strong food sales alongside weakness in the apparel departmentAnnual report
「Food sales generally remained solid as demand for meals at home rose amid the COVID-19 pandemic, while stay-at-home consumption and bulk purchasing increased; meanwhile, the apparel department remained weak as apparel for older customers underperformed due to calls to refrain from going out.」
Food-related products remained solid on demand for meals at home and stay-at-home consumption, while the apparel department remained weak, and divergent performance by product category continues. - FY2021-Q3Strong sales of foods for home consumption alongside weak prepared foods and apparelAnnual report
「Calls to refrain from going out and school closures to prevent the spread of infection, together with the increase in telework as part of the new normal, boosted demand for meals at home, and preserved foods and daily foods such as rice, noodles and retort foods performed well on bulk purchasing and stay-at-home consumption. Even after the state of emergency was lifted, stay-at-home consumption, demand for meals at home and sales of hygiene-related products remained strong, but demand for annual events and occasions such as Bon visits to family and other events declined as cancellations and calls for restraint increased to avoid the so-called “3 Cs.” Demand that would normally have materialized was therefore on a downward trend. In addition, as the increase in cooking at home during the COVID-19 pandemic reduced demand for highly convenient prepared foods and bakery products, the prepared foods and bakery departments struggled. The apparel department also remained weak, including apparel for older customers, due to the impact of calls to refrain from going out, with sales falling sharply to 88.6% of the year-earlier level.」

「In addition to bulk purchasing prompted by calls to refrain from going out, increased demand for meals and lunch at home led to strong performance by fresh foods, rice, preserved foods such as noodles and retort foods, and daily foods for lunch. After the state of emergency was lifted, demand for yakiniku at home and barbecues increased, and yakiniku-related products performed well, but travel and visits to family tended to be avoided to prevent the so-called “3 Cs,” causing the Bon sales campaign to struggle. The apparel department also remained weak, including apparel for older customers, due to the impact of calls to refrain from going out, with sales falling sharply to 86.1% of the year-earlier level.」

「Sales of preserved foods such as rice, noodles and retort foods, as well as meat products, grew significantly, while daily foods such as frozen foods for lunch, sliced bread and chilled noodles also performed well.

Preserved foods, meat products and daily foods grew on increased demand for meals at home and lunch, while the apparel department fell substantially below the previous year, resulting in divergent performance by department. - FY2020Weak performance in the produce, meat and apparel departmentsAnnual report
「Sales fell below the previous fiscal year's level amid weak sales in the produce and meat divisions due to lower market prices, weak seasonal sales in the apparel division due to unsettled weather, and a growing inclination to economize because of concerns about the future, including the consumption tax increase and issues surrounding pensions and retirement funds.」
In addition to the produce department, the meat department was also affected by lower market prices, and together with weak seasonal apparel sales, this has contributed to the year-on-year decline in sales. - FY2020-Q3Continued weakness in the produce, meat and apparel departmentsAnnual report

Weak performance in the produce, meat and apparel departments and increased consumer frugality are factors behind the year-on-year decline in sales. - FY2020-Q1Weakness in the produce and apparel divisionsAnnual report
「Although the Golden Week period performed well amid the celebratory mood surrounding the accession of the new Emperor and the Reiwa era change, sales fell below the previous year, resulting in lower revenue and higher profit, due to the subsequent reversal in Golden Week demand, weak produce sales resulting from low vegetable market prices, and poor performance in the apparel division's spring sales.」

「In addition to the effects of the July 2018 heavy rains and successive price increases for electricity, gas and everyday food items such as bread, cheese and natto, heightened consumer efforts to protect household finances and frugality due to rising gasoline prices made securing net sales and gross profit extremely difficult.」
Weather conditions, higher costs and stronger consumer frugality continued to make securing net sales and gross profit difficult. - FY2018Continued weakness in the fresh foods divisionAnnual report
「Although the newly reopened Lucky Mart Nishino store and City Mart Nakayubetsu store performed steadily, the produce division remained weak due to market fluctuations, while the fresh fish division continued to struggle because shortages of key products resulted from poor catches.」

「In addition to the produce division, which continued to be affected by weak market prices for vegetables and fruit, and the fresh fish division, where shortages continued due to poor catches of key products such as squid, saury and salmon, the tobacco division fell substantially below the previous year's results due to price increases and smoking restrictions.」

The grocery division, where discretionary items such as alcohol and tobacco struggled amid heightened health awareness, underperformed at 98.4%.」
The fresh foods division exceeded the previous year, while the grocery division fell below it, so the core divisions no longer uniformly exceeded the previous year's results. - FY2017-Q3RestatedAnnual report
