NEW YORK – Chain store sales were down 0.1% in the week ended Nov. 13, but rose 3.4% year-over-year, according to the ICSC-Goldman Sachs Weekly Chain Store Sales Snapshot released Tuesday:
"Sales slipped a tad in the latest week as uneven weather patterns and a slower ramp-up for holiday gift buying affected the weekly flow," said Michael Niemira, ICSC director of research and chief economist. "But still, the year-over-year pace of sales continues to hold up with easy comparisons," Niemira added.
