Costco’s same-store sales figures for April were stronger than expected. By how much did its U.S. sales rise last month?
According to commenter maryellen the CNBC answer may be 6%.
According to the report, April Retail Sales – News – CNBC.com
In a positive note, Costco Wholesale reported a better-than-expected 7% rise in April sales at stores open at least a year, helped by a calendar shift that resulted in an extra day of sales over the four-week period.
Of course, 7% is not one of the choices. Nor is the 12% that their total sales grew. These guys are really slipping. So we chose 6.9%. No Bonus Bucks for us.
