Boot Barn reports August SSS up 6%, preliminary Q2 SSS up 4%

Sees SSS for first two weeks in Sept up 8.2%. Jim Conroy, CEO, commented, “I am pleased with the strong execution from the entire Boot Barn team. We continue to see solid performance from new store openings in multiple markets across the country. From a same store sales perspective, it is encouraging to see sequential improvement from July to August and for the first two weeks of fiscal September. On a quarter-to-date basis, we are now comping positive in both channels, across all four store geographies and in every major merchandise classification. Additionally, the recent strength in same store sales has been driven by year-over-year growth in average store transactions with no meaningful change in our promotional posture. While macro uncertainty continues, we are increasingly confident in the underlying tone of the business as we prepare for the upcoming holiday quarter.”
