PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Destination Maternity Corp., which operates maternity stores including A Pea in the Pod, said Thursday that October sales in stores open at least one year fell 5.2 percent.
Total sales for October fell 2 percent to $44.3 million from $45.1 million last year.
Sales at stores open at least a year are a key measure of retailer performance because they measure growth at existing stores rather than from newly opened ones.
