SportscanINFO Numbers this week looked sequentially better for the industry overall, and the sports retailers in particular (i.e. the Dick’s, Foot Lockers and Hibbetts of the world). Total industry sales are still negative, but continue to sequentially improve. In addition, sports retailers were +2.9% for the week, with flat units and 3% boost in price point. I particularly like looking at the 3-week trailing trends, and we have not seen a sustained directional change like this in about 3 months.
