Department Stores, Teen Chains Report Strongest Sales Figures In June

Department stores, teen chains report strongest sales figures in June

Warm weather and deep discounting helped kick off the summer shopping season, but retailers still reported mixed sales results for June.

Senh: No wonder stocks went up by almost 300 points last night.
