COMMENTS: Company officials attribute the sales decline to the closure of 34 stores in California during the first quarter. That was offset by the opening of 14 new stores outside California, they said. Excluding the company's California stores, net sales increased from $584.4 million in the first quarter of 1995 to $620.1 million in the first quarter of 1996. (NYSE: SFD)
