In the realm of finance, the term "same store sales growth" refers to the increase in revenue at retail stores or restaurants that have been in operation for at least one year. This metric specifically excludes any gains resulting from the opening of new locations. A chain's same store sales growth is considered favorable when it falls within the range of 5 to 10 percent. Essentially, it reflects the performance of established establishments, providing insight into the overall health of a company.
