Business Wire Retail Report on October 2009 Retail Sales Figures
NEW YORK - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Business Wire's Monthly Retail Report is available on the day that
retail sales figures for the previous month's sales are announced by the
various retailers nationwide, usually the first Thursday of each month.
The Retail Report is based on information provided and released by the
retailers.
This chart tracks each retailer's total sales for the previous month as
compared to the same month last year and the percent change; total
year-to-date sales for this year as compared to the same period last
year, and the percent change. The last four columns show the percent
change in comparable store sales for the prior months as compared to the
same month last year and the percent change in year-to-date comparable
store sales versus the same period last year. All entries with a "B"
were provided by source in rounded billions format only; otherwise all
figures are in millions.
