NRF president and CEO Matthew Shay said: “January sales continued the strong performance of retail in December, which is impressive coming off a record holiday season. More importantly, year-on-year growth was solid, showing consumers are still optimistic and willing to act on the spending power brought by growing employment and wages. This is a great start to the new year.”
