December 2013 National Retail Sales Results
There is much to celebrate as we reflect upon December nationwide retailer results. Because of the consistent, broad-based strength of comparable store sales industry-wide during 2013 we never supported the naysayer fears as we approached the Christmas selling season. Our confidence has been realized, with sales results showing solid growth for December.
Macy's posted solid +4.3% gains for the November-December period, with many references to a strong sales performance. Michael’s crafted a +7.9% comp store performance and Finish Line footwear finished the race with +7.1% growth. Pier 1 led the home store group with a +6.9% showing.
Expect much candidate activity during 2014. With the growth strategies of many retailers will come increased competition for experienced talent to lead execution. If you haven’t already, I would encourage you to connect with your partner at Retail Search Group.
