We separated out the stores that comprise both the Thomson Reuters Same Store Sales Department Store index, and additional high-end retailers from the Thomson Reuters Same Store Sales Index. These include JW Nordstrom, Saks, Coach, Tiffany’s and Williams Sonoma. These components of actual SSS results were used to create a unique Thomson Reuters Luxury Store SSS Index. The data was then compiled and graphed to show the trends in both the Thomson Reuters Same Store Sales Index and newly comprised Thomson Reuters Same Store Sales Luxury Store Index.
