December Comps Mostly Bright

摘要

Key retailers by and large were encouraged by their December sales and comp results, as most posted increases. But the increases were less bright than expected for many, as shoppers remained cautious in their spending. Costco had the strongest showing, with same-store sales up 8.0%. Off-pricers TJMaxx and Ross Stores were also among the leaders, both with 6.0% comp gains.
