J. C. Penney Co. Inc., Target Corp, Costco Wholesale Corp and Kohl's Corp. were the four retailers that reported better than expected sales in the month of November, on Thursday.

The shares of J. C Penny gained two percent or sixty nine cents to figure thirty four dollars and forty cents as seen at the midday trading. It emerged out to be a winner.

Target Corp., on Tuesday, officially announced that it will now cease the sale of fresh, frozen or smoked farm-raised salmon, across all its stores country-wide.

Like many of its competitors, Target Corp. also wants a share in the international market, and while the American discount super-chain has announced that it is looking to expand into the Canadian market and open a few stores there, shoppers should not get too excited because the plans have not been cemented yet.
