— For selected retail chains, here's how June revenue at stores open at least a year compared with the same month last year.
This comparison is a key indicator of a retailer's health because it excludes revenue at stores that recently opened or closed.
When applicable, the figures include online business and exclude gasoline sales. For Rite Aid, the comparison covers the four weeks that ended June 25. For Walgreen, the figure covers the calendar month of June. The remaining companies report on a five-week period that ended last weekend.
