Default Distributions useful for modeling growth

I have 26 years of sales data for an individual company and want to fit a distribution around the sales growth. I don't know which distribution is commonly used for growth. Is it Lognormal? Laplace? I've done what I can to scour the research but haven't found exactly the information I'm looking for. I'm hoping that someone here has faced a similar project and can offer some pointers. Thanks!!
