Comps are Positive, But Deceptive Compared to Devastating March 2009 Losses

By , About.com Guide

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