Specialty Stores See Modest Pre-Holiday Gains
Sales picked up for specialty apparel retailers in the week before Christmas, but came nowhere near last year’s gains, according to a survey conducted by Blacks.
Menswear sales increased by 6.8% while sales of women’s wear increased by 2.7% over the same week last year. These results compare to a 13.3% surge in menswear and a 12.2% gain in women’s for the same period in 2006.
“Women’s wear was particularly hard hit by the lack of new fashion to drive sales,” said Blacks Senior Consultant Steve Pruitt.
