Americans went on a shopping spree last month. And they didn't bypass Wal-Mart.
Nearly across the board, retail sales increased in June, from luxury to
midmarket to discount - from $200 bathing suits on Fifth Avenue to $2 plastic
pool toys in the mall. The reasons were varied - hotter weather, hotter
fashion, more markdowns, and less concern about gas prices than the experts
had anticipated. Wal-Mart, the world's largest store chain, came roaring back
from dismal sales and bad press in May to report increases of 4.5 percent in
sales at stores open at least a year for its middle and working class
customers, who rushed in to buy air-conditioners and summer clothes.
Analysts had predicted that Wal-Mart's sales, store-for-store comparisons
between this June and last June, would come in at 3.2 percent, following a
string of unexciting monthly results. For Wal-Mart, the $288 billion retailer,
that 1.3 percent difference alone moved the retail composite up more than half
a point last month, to a 5.5 percent increase over June 2004, according to
Goldman Sachs.
