Retail Sales Show Growth in Galesburg and Monmouth During First Half of 2026

Retail sales numbers are in for both Quarter 1 and Quarter 2 of 2026. Knox County Area Partnership President Ken Springer shares the findings for Galesburg and Monmouth:. “Quarter 1 of 2026, Galesburg ended up being up 2.1 percent over Quarter 1 retail receipts in 2025. Monmouth was up 1.7 percent over Quarter 1 in 2026, so small growth on those two. We look at a whole bunch of different metros, I think around a dozen of them that we track, the average growth for all the metros that we looked at for that same period of time was 3.7 percent. Both Galesburg and Monmouth were below that threshold,” informs Springer.
