- Honeys Holdings Co., Ltd. engages in the planning, manufacture, wholesale, and retail of women's apparel and fashion accessories as a specialty store retailer of private label apparel (SPA) primarily targeting women from their teens to 50s. The company offers core products under its key brands including GLACIER, CINEMA CLUB (or Cinema club), COLZA, Gracia, Comfort Basic, and the newly launched Gracia Russo brand for mature women seeking stylish, age-inclusive fashion; these encompass a range of women's clothing such as casual wear, trendy items, and non-age-specific styles, along with accessories, sold through in-shop specialty stores in large suburban shopping centers and station buildings across all 47 prefectures in Japan, as well as via its official online shopping site and mobile app. Most products are in-house planned and produced at its own factory in Myanmar supplemented by overseas consignment manufacturing. Founded in 1978 and headquartered in Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, the company operates solely in the Japan segment with approximately 6,400 employees and around 870 stores under banners like Honeys, Cinema Club, Honey's Dee, and Crossover. In recent developments, Honeys Holdings maintains its fiscal year ending May 2026 guidance with projected net sales of JPY 59 billion and net profit growth despite a 26.7% year-on-year decline in net profit to JPY 792 million for the June-August 2025 quarter due to softer sales and elevated selling, general, and administrative expenses at 50.9%; EC sales rose 14.9% in the fiscal third quarter ended February 2025 supported by marketing automation tools and promotional activities, while monthly sales data updates through October 2025 reflect ongoing operational monitoring amid stable dividend payouts including a final dividend of JPY 30 per share.
