"Total sales for the February 2024 through April 2024 period were up 3.0% from the same period a year ago," the press release read. "Retail trade sales were virtually unchanged from March 2024, but up 2.7% above last year. Nonstore retailers were up 7.5% from last year, while food services and drinking places were up 5.5% from April 2023."
