Business Wire's Monthly Retail Report is available on the day that
retail sales figures for the previous month's sales are announced by

the retailers.
This chart tracks each retailer's total sales for the previous
month as compared to the same month last year and the percent change;
total year-to-date sales for this year as compared to the same period
last year, and the percent change. The last four columns show the
percent change in comparable store sales for the prior months as
