Sales at stores open at least a year rose 3.3 percent in the U.S. and 0.1 abroad. For the full year, the figure fell 3 percent in the U.S. and 2.8 abroad.

The stores are as big as a full-size toy store and a full-size baby store combined. There are now 26 across the country.

 

The privately held company also has a total of 64 converted side-by-side stores in the United States and plans to convert more this year.
