Mexico same-store retail sales up 2.8% October, first rise since March

MEXICO CITY, Nov 11 (Reuters) - The members of Mexican retailers' association ANTAD said on Wednesday that same-store sales rose by 2.8% in October versus the same month a year earlier, the first increase since March as the effects of the coronavirus pandemic hit consumer demand.

The figures reflect sales at over 62,000 stores across Mexico, including at chains such as Soriana and Chedraui, that have been open for at least a year. (Reporting by Sharay Angulo)
