Clothing maker American Apparel Inc. said Thursday sales in stores open at least one year fell 6 percent in October.
Sales at stores open at least a year are a key measure of retailer performance because they measure growth at existing stores rather than from newly opened ones.
A year ago, sales in stores open at least one year rose 22 percent.
American Apparel operates 275 stores in 20 countries.
