August Sluggish, Labor Day Rains

August was a slow month, according to several distributors contacted by BBD. We are hearing everything from flat to down 5% in some parts of the country. Miller distributors still saying that Lite is flying, although September of last year is when Lite started to grow and so will have more difficult comps ahead.Wal-Mart even cut Q3 sales forecasts amid a weak August. Same-store sales for units open at least a year went up only 0.5%, its smallest monthly gain
