These Are The Retailers That Won The Holiday Season

The numbers are in, at least through Dec. 15, and market research firm InfoScout feels it’s safe to declare the holiday season’s retail winners.

Using its portfolio of proprietary mobile apps, the company gathered and analyzed 1 million purchase receipts across all distribution channels from Nov. 1 through last Thursday.

The result: A Top 10 retailers list, based on counts of online and in-store shopping trips that culminated in a purchase, along with the five best-selling tech items for five of them, based on dollar volume (see chart, below).

The list might surprise you. Amazon isn’t No. 1 in the rankings (Walmart is), and Best Buy didn’t crack the Top 10, although Home Depot did.

But 4K UHD TV does dominate the holiday hit parade, as do PlayStation 4 and Xbox One S gaming bundles, and Echo and Dot were sellouts for Amazon (and anyone else who carried them).

So, without further ado, the drumroll please…
