If you do a little funky math it would appear that March was amazing for core mall retailer Zumiez. Their total sales for the five-week period ended April 3, 2010 were up 20.1 percent to $35.8 million vs $29.8 million in 2009 and their same store comps were up 13.2%. For comparison, same store comps were down 17.9% for the same period in 2009.
Either the economy is turning around or people have just said screw it and are blowing what little money they have left on iPads and logo Ts.
