Geographically, Texas and Florida had the strongest sales in January. For the fourth quarter, home and ladies’ apparel had the strongest sales and accessories sales, particularly cold weather items, were weaker. The Company operated 278 stores at the end of January this year compared to 270 stores last year.

“January comparable store sales were flat through the middle of the third week of the month, but then dropped for several days due to a winter storm that impacted the East and Mid-Atlantic areas,” said Jay Stein, Chief Executive Officer. “We are glad to have fall, with its unseasonable weather, behind us and are looking forward to showcasing our new spring merchandise to our customers.”
