ICSC Chain Store Sales rose 0.6% in Oct 10 Wk
The International Council of Shopping Centers and Goldman Sachs Retail Chain Store Sales Index rose 0.6% in the week ended Saturday from its level a week before on a seasonally adjusted, comparable-store basis.
Colder-than-normal weather helped somewhat, particularly at department stores, which have long been ailing. On a year-on-year basis, retailers saw sales rise 1% in the latest week even as traffic levels were lower.
