Spring Sales Soar
April sales figures are in, and as expected it was a banner month for many retailers.
Easter came late this year and as a result, holiday sales were pushed into April. Winter’s stormy skies finally gave way to some sunshine and consumers shrugged off high oil prices and headed to the mall.
Mid-market retailers such as Guess and Bebe reported significant gains – 22.6 percent and 14.6 percent, respectively. Talbots rang in a 10.8 percent increase in same store sales, while Ann Taylor Stores posted a 10.9 percent rise.
