Floyd Hall Items Quotations

Strong performance over the final weeks of the holidays helped Kmart's sales for December meet expectations. Categories showing particular strength included home-related items in areas such as appliances, decor, fashions and electronics, as well as do-it-yourself, consumables, stationery, prescription drugs, and seasonal items.

September comparable sales were on plan, with strength in home appliances and electronics partially offsetting slow fall apparel results due to unseasonably warm weather. Other categories showing strong performance included home decor, outdoor sporting goods, jewelry, stationery, cosmetics and fragrances, cameras and accessories, consumables, seasonal items and pharmaceuticals.
