Fast Retailing, the leading Asian retailer, owns brands like Uniqlo and J Brand. Despite a 21% increase in sales, profits fell by 29% due to various factors, including the yen's weakness. However, the company is optimistic about future growth, especially in Greater China, where operating profits rose by 83%. Fast Retailing plans to open 85 new stores in 2014, focusing on international markets. Owned by billionaire Tadashi Yanai, the company is diversifying beyond Uniqlo.
