JANUARY RESULTS showed broad-based regional sales gains, led by strength in the Midwest and South/Southeast, while Canada also posted a solid increase. Performance appears uneven beneath the top line, with results influenced by higher average transaction values rather than a clear acceleration in underlying demand. Vendor results reflected selective category momentum rather than broad-based volume expansion.

*Edge Retail Academy figures are based on an aggregation of over $3 billion in annual fine jewelry sales data from independent jewelers.
