Industry Trends

Slow Comparable Store Sales Growth

Declining prices have made it more difficult for chains to grow sales at existing stores. Comparable store sales at the major chains have grown only 5 percent or less over the past several years, forcing them to rely on new store openings to achieve double-digit growth in overall sales. To attract repeat visits to existing stores, companies are expanding product lines, changing merchandising formats more frequently, and offering customer loyalty programs.
