Retail Focus 11/24/17 – Thanksgiving Weekend Sales, Dollar Tree Improves Across the Board

In this Black Friday edition of the Retail Focus Podcast, we begin by discussing both survey data and anecdotal accounts in attempting to determine just how robust Thanksgiving Weekend sales may have been. Then, we look back to third quarter earnings calls from prior in the week, as Lowe’s continues positive home improvement retail momentum, Dollar Tree crushes it while boosting margins, and DSW blames hurricanes and weather for sub-optimal results.
