W.W. Grainger February sales rise 18 percent
WW Grainger Inc. said Monday that its February sales rose 18 percent, boosted by contributions from recent acquisitions.
US retail sales rose a seasonally adjusted 0.4% to $366.4 billion in April, the seventh straight increase and the 12th gain in the past 13 months, led by strong sales at hardware stores and garden centers, the US Census Bureau, part of the Department of Commerce, estimated.
