The company noted that sales across its reopened stores were higher compared to the same time period in 2019 and CEO Ernie Herrman is optimistic the trend will continue due to "the appeal of our treasure-hunt shopping experience, as well as pent-up demand" he said.
The move marked a major comeback after the fast-spreading virus stifled its global operations starting in Mid-March forcing store closures globally.
