MARCH SAME-STORE SALES REPORT

Same-store sales results are in for March and the results are mixed. Same-store sales are calculated only for stores that have been in business for more than one year. Here is a breakdown of some popular retailers.

March 2007
Nordstrom +15%
Target +12%
J.C. Penney +10.6%
Saks +10.1%
Limited +8%
Abercrombie & Fitch +7%
Costco +6%
Wal-Mart +4%

The Wal-Mart sales increase was better than expected, but the company has cautioned that April will likely be flat and that quarterly results may not meet expectations.
