Here’s a look at the top 10 retailers (by U.S. Sales dollars) in 2008 and last year. \u00a08 of the 10 are the same although some have moved up or down.<\/p>\n

Some observations:<\/p>\n

–WalMart is still the king, although they have declined.<\/p>\n

–CVS has lost sales and Walgreens gained more sales. One up, one down.<\/p>\n

–Costco has shown the biggest dollar increase. \u00a0Americans love their club stores.<\/p>\n

–SuperValu had the biggest percentage and ranking drop, probably due to their selling off stores.<\/p>\n

–Sears also dropped significantly (almost 50%) and was the other company to drop out of the top 10 (and way out, kind of like the company is on the way out…)<\/p>\n

–Safeway “climbed” into the top 10 despite declining sales.<\/p>\n

–And the big winner is Amazon, who has nearly tripled their sales\u00a0and become the first non-brick and mortar store to hit the top 10.<\/p>\n
