The increase in net sales is primarily due to an increase in comparable store sales of approximately $2.5 million or 5.7% and an increase in non-comparable store sales of $417,000. The increase in net sales at our stores for the quarter reflected a 6.8% increase in average dollars per transaction, partially offset by a 1.1% decrease in sales transactions.

This increase was primarily due to an increase in net sales, as described above, as well as an increase in initial mark-up. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 43.0% from 38.2% for the current 39-week period, as compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to an increase in full-price sales, an increase in our initial mark-up and a decrease in markdowns as a percentage of sales, as well as the impact from higher sales, as it relates to occupancy and operational costs in our design, production and sourcing departments.
During the 39-week period ended October 1, 2011, store operating expenses increased to $56.0 million from $55.8 million, an increase of $230,000, or 0.4%, as compared to the same 39-week period last year. Store operating expenses increased primarily due to an increase in payroll and payroll-related tax expenses of $1.6 million, health insurance of $424,000 and outside services of $308,000, which primarily consisted of internet support services. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in marketing expense of $1.2 million and depreciation expense of $921,000. The increase in payroll and payroll-related costs was primarily due to our maximizing store coverage during high customer traffic periods. The increase in health insurance was primarily due to an increase in health insurance claims. The decrease in marketing expense was primarily due to a reduction in spending on direct mail and production costs related to printed materials. The decrease in depreciation expense was primarily due to certain assets being fully depreciated, coupled with the impairment of 15 underperforming stores during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. As a percentage of net sales, store operating expenses decreased to 34.8% from 37.0% for the current 39-week period, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the increase in net sales.
