The Kyushu Department Store Association announced that aggregate sales for the 26 stores from 17 companies in Kyushu and Okinawa Prefecture in 2009 fell 10.2% from the previous year to 546.257 billion yen. That is the seventh consecutive decline and the worst since the start of record keeping in 1952. The drop-off in sales was particularly pronounced for upscale items.
