Question · Q2 2026
Mathew Ball inquired about the sequential acceleration in same-store sales, specifically asking about the largest gains by income demographic, categories experiencing pushback from initial pricing, and Q3 comp performance relative to Q2.
Answer
CEO Michael Creedon stated that Q2 saw strong performance despite a lack of major holiday drivers, with the strongest gains from higher-income customers, though lower-income performance remained robust. He indicated Q3 started at the lower end of the 4-6% guidance range and noted no material pushback from pricing actions.
