Geographically, the Mid Atlantic, Midwest, Northeast, South Central and Southwest regions all had comparable store sales gains during the month. For the first quarter, total sales increased 5.5% to $366 million and comparable store sales rose 2.5%. Michael Glazer, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our 2.5% comparable store sales increase for the first quarter. We expected April to be challenging given the negative impact of the Easter calendar shift and the timing shift of our Mother’s Day event to May this year from April last year. However, April results were better than anticipated and, as a result, we exceeded our comparable store sales expectations for the quarter.”
