About United States Chain Store Sales
In the US, chain store sales refer to retail sales of goods and services in department stores excluding discount department stores. Values are based on data from the Monthly Retail Trade Survey. The survey covers companies with one or more establishments that sell merchandise and related services to final consumers, such as furniture & home furnishings; electronics & appliances; clothing & accessories; sporting goods, hobby, musical instrument, and book; general merchandise; office supply, stationery, and gift stores. Chain store sales do not include data from online-only stores.
