September sales round-up
According to the research department of the ICSC (International Council of Shopping Centers), September same-store sales were up a mere 2.4 percent in September, compared to a 5.9 percent gain last year. Factors contributing to the weak results included the hurricanes in the South, a soft back-to-school
season and unseasonably warm weather, said Michael Niemira, chief economist and director of research, in a statement. The ICSC further reports that drugstores had overall gains of 7.1 percent, wholesale clubs gained 6.6 percent, discounters gained 2.5 percent, specialty store sales were flat (except for the Gap, which posted a decrease) and department stores dropped 0.7 percent.
