(Reuters) – Target Corp said on Wednesday that robust online sales during the holiday season resulted in a 17.2% rise in comparable sales for the retailer.
The company has been investing heavily in its online business during the COVID-19 pandemic. Digital sales more than doubled as customers shopped across all its major categories including home goods, electronics and apparel.
Store traffic increased 4.3% in the November-December period, Target said, adding that sales trends since January were strong.
