For Better Retailers, Sales Sizzle In July

High-end retailers pulled off moderate gains in July, despite a heat wave that kept many shoppers indoors.

Federated Department Stores posted a 3.3% increase in same store sales, while Nordstrom reported a 5.3% gain. Federated expects similar results in August, predicting an increase of between 3% and 4%.

Mass-market mall denizens, such as Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic, continued to post lackluster results, reporting a 4% drop in same store sales.
