Report: Retail Sales Continued Sept. Climb

Moderate weather and declining gas prices helped boost retail sales in September, according to a recent study by Retail Forward.

Same-store sales notched up 4% in the month, with apparel and accessory stores leading the way.

Sales are expected to continue to improve through the holiday season, showing a 5.5% increase over the same period last year. This is lower than the 7.2% gain seen last holiday season, however.
