The TJX Companies, Inc. reported sales for the four-week period ended Mar. 2, 2013, were $1.8 billion, up 7 percent over the $1.6 billion achieved during the four-week period ended February 25, 2012. Consolidated comparable store sales for the four-week period ended March 2, 2013, were up 1 percent.
Carol Meyrowitz, Chief Executive Officer of The TJX Companies, Inc., stated, Business trends picked up at the very end of the month, leading to our February comp store sales coming in higher than expected at a 1% increase. Winter storms in many U.S. and Canadian regions kept customers at home, but we were pleased to see our momentum continue in warmer weather markets. Further, our home businesses, which are less weather sensitive, were strong across the board. We are also happy with the continued strength of our European businesses. As we move through the spring selling season, we are in an excellent position to continue shipping great brands and fresh fashions to our stores at extreme values.
