BJ's, which operates general merchandise and warehouse "clubs" that consumers can join for a small fee, said cost controls and rising sales of products such as food and household cleaners boosted earnings. Target's Quarterly Profits Up 6 Percent May 22 9:43am ET MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - Target Corp. , the No. 4 U.S. retailer, on Tuesday reported a 6 percent increase in fiscal first-quarter earnings that matched Wall Street's consensus forecast as a decline in consumer spending cut into profit growth. A number of retailers have seen profit and sales growth slow dramatically from the blistering pace of recent years as the U.S. economy slows and consumers cut back on purchases. Helped by sales of items like food and household cleaners, discounters have generally outperformed department stores in the sluggish environment. I guess more food sales means more home cooking which means the restaurant business and the general maintenance business have started to slow. Cleaning supplies means more people are spending more hours at home and seeing the dust spots.
