This is a complete list of the same store sales figures reported by major U.S. retail companies in January, 2010. The percentages reported for each retail company represent the change in sales for stores open at least 12 months as of January 1, 2010, as compared to the sales in stores open for at least 12 months in January, 2009.

Same store sales is considered to be a key indicator which reveals the strength and growth or weakness and retraction of a chain. The figures exclude new store openings, which would inflate overall sales numbers prematurely and artificially.
