Dennis May, president and CEO of hhgregg said in the statement that the company’s new stores are performing “in line with expectations.”

Net sales increased 20 percent from the previous year for a total of $500 million.

Spokeswoman Sari Martin said they are currently hiring for the two stores in development.
