The Dress Barn, Inc., one of the nation's leading specialty store chains offering value-priced women's career and casual fashions today reported March sales results.
Total sales for the fiscal month ended March 30, 2002 increased 17% to $70.9 million compared to $60.8 million reported for the same five-week fiscal period ended March 31, 2001. Same-store sales increased 12%.
It should be noted that the Company's March sales reporting calendar this year includes the week of Easter, which was reported in April last year. As a result of this shift, March and April sales results should be combined for a more meaningful comparison.
