Buckle May same-store sales up about 35 percent

Same-store sales, or sales at stores open at least a year, is a key indicator of retailer performance since it measures growth at existing stores rather than newly opened ones.

Net sales for the four-week period ended May 31 rose 44.1 percent to $50.8 million.

Same-store sales for the 17 weeks through May 31 rose 27.7 percent, while net sales for the period rose 35 percent.
