Bright Spots And Challenges In Retail

Restoration Hardware

Rite Aid’s front-end comparable same-store sales have dropped, fueled by a precipitous decline in the cough, cold and flu categories. In earnings, Restoration Hardware parent RH reported record quarterly and full-year results, as it also detailed an international expansion plan that aims to boost future sales.
