Comparable store sales for Wilsons The Leather Experts Inc. fell 11.9% in the five weeks to January 5, 2002. The US leather goods company blamed a number of negative factors on the results, announced in a press release on Wednesday (January 9). The lower same-store sales were partially offset by the effect of the purchase of Bentley’s last year, meaning that sales overall were down 3.1% to $223.1 million compared to $230.2 million last year.
