Store sales grew higher this week following last week’s dip as Christmas is just a short week away.

The ICSC-Goldman store sales index improved to 3.5% year over year gains compared to only 2.5% Y/Y a week ago.

The Redbook store sales index rose to 2.4% year over year gains compared to only 2.2% Y/Y the week prior.

Sales are still relatively weak, but expect a hectic final week before Christmas as retailers push new promotions and discounts and scramble to unload inventory.
