Zumiez Inc. posted a 47.3% increase in sales for the month to $28.7 million from $19.5 million last year. The company's comparable store sales increased 14.9% on top of a 10.1% increase last year. Management attributed the sales growth to both new and comparable store sales gains, with increases in average unit retail as well as in-store transactions. Men’s was named as the primary growth driver, but all departments have comped positively.

It will be interesting to watch the dynamic between PacSun and Zumiez as Zumiez begins to broaden its reach across the country with acquisitions and new doors. Specifically, the retailer is making a move into Texas after its Fast Forward acquisition, a region which PSUN said performed well this month.
