“I wouldn't comment on the second quarter, but maybe it would be helpful if I talk. The quarter started particularly strong. Jim talked about this a little bit, but we transitioned very well from holiday to spring selling, a place where we've struggled for a number of years.”
“The 17 was an unprecedented comp and probably was a result of unprecedented amounts of chase inventory. So can you just talk about how comfortable you are with your inventory reserve levels and quality and ability to continue to chase into this six to seven comp?”
“I wouldn't comment on the second quarter, but maybe it would be helpful if I talk. The quarter started particularly strong. Jim talked about this a little bit, but we transitioned very well from holiday to spring selling, a place where we've struggled for a number of years.”
“Similar to what happened in the second quarter, as you saw in our commentary, the tariff-related costs came in lower than we expected. And our merchant teams have done a tremendous job balancing cost concessions with modest market-driven price increases where we can maintain our value gap against other retailers.”
“You're breaking up a bit, but I think your question was the composition of the comp in terms of transactions and what we saw during the quarter. As we said in the commentary, the 2% comp was driven by a slight increase in traffic and also an average increase in the average basket.”
