>>Sales for the quarter rose 16 percent to $3.2 billion from $2.7 billion a year ago, while sales at stores open at least one year -- same-store sales -- fell 7 percent compared with a 2 percent decrease last year.

<<

In other words all sales growth was from the addition of new stores or acquisitions and sales are eroding at a faster rate this year than in the prior year?

I wonder at the sales increases reported by the likes of Kohls and others -- I am going back to re-read some of these. I'm afraid they've done some flim-flam in this regard.
