“As our second fiscal quarter got underway, we continued to see a strong correlation between our customers’ shopping behaviour and the number of positive Covd-19 test results in their communities. While July got off to a slow start due to the resurgence in cases, same store sales in our retail stores sequentially improved from mid-July through the first week of our fiscal August as sentiment improved,” Conroy said.
