Universal Store Forecasts FY27 Growth on Perfect Stranger Expansion
Early FY27 trading lifted group direct-to-consumer sales 9.1%, led by Perfect Stranger surging 45.8%. CTC’s direct-to-consumer rose 10.1% after weak wholesale in FY26. For FY27, Universal Store Holdings expects 16–20 new stores—nine to ten Universal Store, six to eight Perfect Stranger, and one to two THRILLS—supporting a stronger outlook despite CTC wholesale needing attention.
