Blockbuster sales climb

DALLAS (AP) - March 5, 2009

The good news comes on the heels of the struggling company's hiring of corporate restructuring specialists Kirkland & Ellis to help rescue it from a financial bind. Blockbuster is hoping the firm can re-negotiate the terms of its outstanding loans and arrange financing to keep it afloat during the economic downturn.

Dallas-based Blockbuster Inc. says full-year domestic same-store sales rose 6.4 percent.

Same-store sales, or sales at stores open at least a year, are a key indicator of retailer performance since they measure growth at existing stores.
