Total retail sales grew year over year in January—but far more slowly than in December. Calendar shifts pushed Black Friday and Cyber Monday six days later than in 2018, contributing to December’s strong year-over-year growth. Nonstore retailers grew sales significantly in December 2019; that growth slowed but remained healthy in January. Department store sales fell again in January, although not as steeply as in December.
