With May same-store sales out today, one analyst said that youth apparel retailers performed well last month, though he expects the next two months will be better tests for consumer sales.
Strong sales at Pacific Sunwear and Zumiez represent "their strength in the West Coast lifestyle," Piper Jaffray retail analyst Jeff Klinefelter said on "Squawk Box." He added that small cap vendor Phillip Van Heusenperformed well also.
