For June 2008, net sales increased 10.7% to $715 million, compared with $645.8 million for June 2007. The company had 6,562 stores as of July 5, 2008, including 24 new stores which opened in the June period.
Year-to-date net sales were $5.93 billion; comparable store sales increased 0.7%.
Howard Levine, chairman and CEO, said: "June sales were favorably impacted by several factors, including the arrival of consistently warmer weather, stimulus checks, advertising and robust sales related to the July 4th holiday. Although sales of consumables continue to drive our overall results, this month we saw an improvement in sales trends in more discretionary categories, including apparel and seasonal items."
