In the second quarter of the financial year, Weis Markets’ net income inched up 0.9% but president and CEO David Hepfinger pointed to last year’s results.
“One year ago, we generated record earnings in the second quarter when our company posted a 35% increase in net income,” Hepfinger said. “We have now improved upon those results while posting strong sales and comparable store sales gains.”
The retailer’s half-year sales rose 1.4% to $1.34bn on the back of a 2.8% increase in comparable-store sales.
