Same-store sales surged 9.39% in week 3 of April
Independent retailers reported sales up 9.39 percent during the third week of April compared to the same period last year. The consumer count was also up 6.26 percent.
Following last week’s narrative, the lateness of Easter in 2019 played a big role behind the year-on-year upswing in April versus the fall in grocery sales for March.
