March Comps Get Early Easter Treat
Retail sales got a special treat this March from the early arrival of Easter. Sales leading up to the holiday boosted same-store comps by an average 8 percent in department stores and 7 percent in specialty stores, according to analysts.
Warmer weather in parts of the country also helped jumpstart sales of spring merchandise.
Blacks’s Take: While March benefitted from the early Easter holiday, we could see a dip in April’s year-over-year sales.
