Specialty Stores Take Another Bite from Department Stores

摘要

Once again, the specialty chain store channel gained home textiles share on a year-over-year basis, pulling 2% from the department store channel. In general, most department stores on HTT's Top 50 ranking posted year-over-year gains. The biggest impact on the segment came from JCPenney, where home textiles sales dropped 19.1% - far more consequential than the 3.2% decline at The Bon-Ton Stores and the 1.4% slip at Dillard's.
