TOKYO -(Dow Jones)- Fast Retailing Co. (9983.TO) said Thursday that domestic same-store sales at its Uniqlo casual clothing chain declined 14.5% in November from the year-earlier month, when sales were helped by a campaign to celebrate the company's 60th anniversary and strong sales of winter clothing. Despite the on-year fall, the company said that sales in November were almost in line with its expectations. The number of customer visits to Uniqlo stores in November declined 7.0% from a year earlier on a same-store basis. Copyright © 2010 Dow Jones Newswires
