"Comps" is "comparative store sales" and acceleration obviously means increasing exponentially so I assume this is comparing 3 years sales (maybe for a specific quarter).
E.g.
2014 Jan-March = 100% (of sales)
2015 Jan-March = 110% (compared to 2014)
2016 Jan-March = 150%
"Two-year" would imply a two year period but usually comps are calculated quarterly (or yearly).
Also, I think it's possible "acceleration" is being used figuratively and this is just an increase (e.g. 2014 = 100%, 2015 = 110%)
