The net sales increase was driven by positive sales contributions from new stores and growth in same-store sales, partially offset by the impact of store closures. Same-store sales increased 2.5% compared to the third quarter of 2024, reflecting a 2.5% increase in customer traffic and a flat average transaction amount. Same-store sales in the third quarter of 2025 included growth in each of the consumables, seasonal, home products, and apparel categories.
