Reconciliation & Financial Measures
Comparable Store Sales
Comparable store sales is also referred to as "same-store" sales by others within the retail industry. The method of calculating comparable store sales may vary across the retail industry. As a result, our calculation of comparable store sales (including the manner in which we treat fuel sales, relocations and expansions), is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
