USA: Footstar April Sales Fall 7.9 Per Cent
Shoe retailer Footstar Inc said sales at its stores open at least a year slid 7.9 per cent in April. Despite this, chairman and chief executive Mickey Robinson said its April results were ahead of plan, as early warm weather boosted more full-priced sales at its Meldisco division - which operates retailer Kmart Corp's shoe department - as well as in its licensed departments.
