Daiei, meanwhile, is expected to miss its sales target of ¥1.59trn for the fiscal year, as it undergoes restructuring to streamline its operations, reported the Nihon Keizai Shimbun.
In 1979, Daiei became the first Japanese retailer to achieve more than ¥1trn in sales.
Aeon has forecasted pre-tax profit up 14% in fiscal 2002 to a record ¥33bn on a parent-only basis.
