CEO Tom Kingsbury said he was pleased with the results, noting that the increase came on top of a 3.3 percent increase in the same quarter a year ago.

The company's net revenue, which does include that impact, rose 4 percent to $929 million in the first quarter.
Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corp., based in Burlington, N.J., sells name-brand clothes and other goods at discounted prices.
