On a comparable-store basis, sales decreased 0.6% for the first quarter. Comparable-store sales do not include locations opened, closed or otherwise non-comparable during the last 12 months.<\/p>\n
Clarence H. Smith, president & chief executive officer said, “Our March sales trends improved relative to our results in recent months. Comparable- store sales last year were up by 10.8%, setting a high hurdle for this year’s comparison.
\n
\nWe are seeing signals that our merchandise and marketing initiatives are having a positive impact. Our total written business grew progressively stronger in March and was up by a mid-single-digit percent against last year’s very strong month.<\/p>\n
“We are excited about this month’s opening of our new store adjacent to Stonecrest Mall in a growing market southeast of Atlanta. This shopping destination serves rapidly developing areas in DeKalb, Rockdale and Henry counties.”<\/p>\n
