Golf Galaxy, Inc. reported net sales for the month of june jumped 39% to $42.1 million, compared with $30.4 million for the fiscal month ended July 2, 2005. The increase was driven primarily by the addition of new stores and a comparable store sales gain of 2.9%. The GolfWorks, which the company acquired on March 16, 2006, also contributed to the year-over-year growth in net sales.
“Our strategic merchandising initiatives continue to have a meaningful impact on our overall results and drove our comparable store sales gain during the month,” said Randy Zanatta, Golf Galaxy’s president and chief executive officer. “We also were pleased to see a comparable store sales increase in our club business for the month, after seeing a decline in the first quarter. We continued to see erratic sales and traffic patterns in June, which we believe reflects the challenging economic environment and a more cautious consumer.”
