• The New York Times reports that U.S. retail sales rose by 1.1 percent in February, which
represents their largest gain in five months. “In the latest sign of improvement in the
American economy’s prolonged recovery from the 2007-2009 recession, sales rose 1.1
percent last month, the Commerce Department said on Tuesday, after a 0.6 percent increase
in January.” Read the article here.
• Apollo Global Management and Great Wolf Resorts announced on March 13th that they
have entered into a definitive merger agreement. “Apollo, a leading global asset manager,
will acquire Great Wolf, North America’s largest family of indoor waterpark resorts, for
approximately $703 million, including the assumption of the Company’s outstanding debt.”
Read the press release here.
• The Wall Street Journal reports that a mild winter resulted in stronger than expected retail
sales in February. “Stores began displaying spring apparel during [February]—in many
cases with bright colors offering some freshness. Analysts said some shoppers used money
they didn't spend on apparel for a frigid winter that didn't come. The 18 retailers that report
same-store sales… showed 6.4% growth in February, when 4.8% was expected, according
to Thomson Reuters.” Read the article here.
