We got the call-back from [book publishers] Scholastic yesterday. We got about $22,000 in sales.

We are hoping this year to do about $30,000 in sales.

We are very excited and pleased with the $22,000 in sales.

Sales have sky rocketed on mall-wide gift cards, and often times they will come back in the week after Christmas.

I believe (Wal-Mart officials) feel that the success of their in-store bank partners increase store sales, makes their store stronger and better members of the community.

As soon as the weather became brisker apparel sales went up. Jewelry is also popular because a lot of men purchase jewelry as a last minute gift. Expect a lot of traffic in that area.
