Improved merchandising effectiveness drove a 3.6% increase in merchandise sales per customer as well as the 2.3% merchandise comparable store sales growth for the quarter. Despite continued progress inside our stores, lower fuel margins caused the year-over-year decline in Adjusted EBITDA. We remain focused on unlocking the company's potential as we build on the positive inside sales results and continue our efforts to improve fuel performance."
