MEXICO CITY, Sept 10 (Reuters) - The members of Mexican
retailers' association ANTAD said on Thursday that same-store
sales fell by 3.0% in August compared with the same month a year
earlier, as the effects of the coronavirus pandemic hit consumer
demand.
The figures reflect sales at over 62,000 stores across
Mexico, including at chains such as Soriana and Chedraui, that
have been open for at least a year.
Retail sales moderated from a 9.1% contraction in July and a
17.9% decrease in June.
