Retailers like H&M and Pepco Group have reported slower sales of autumnal items due to the warmer conditions. As a result, some stores are already implementing discounts to prevent an excess of unsold inventory at the end of the season, potentially impacting retailers like Walmart and Dick’s Sporting Goods.
