Sales trends at Zumiez improved during February and the company posted a 2% increase in same store sales.
Part of the improvement came from increased traffic as the company put leftover inventory from the holiday season on sale.
While sales improved, product margins declined because of the clearance prices.
Strong categories included accessories, hardgoods and juniors.
Categories with negative comps included footwear, boys and men’s.
Zumiez ended the month with 552 stores.
