ICSC Chain Store Sales drop 0.4% in Mar 13 Wk
The ICSC-Goldman Sachs (ICSC-GS) chain store sales index for the week ending March 13 slipped by 0.4% with some regional weather-induced sales softness, especially in the Northeast and on the weekend. However, throughout the nation, sales were relatively strong during the early-to-middle part of the week and that helped to offset some of the weekend softness. The early-week improvement also may have been helped by mild-seasonal temperatures resulting in markedly stronger department and apparel store traffic compared with the same week of 2009.
