Exclusive GTN Bestsellers garden centre Epos data analysis

 

Total volume sales slowed slightly last week in garden centres providing Epos data for GTN Bestsellers, down 1.3% week on week to be 7% down on last year but 14% up on 2019.

 

Judging by the week-on-week performance of the GTN Top 50 charts for Garden Products, Growing Media, Veg-2-Gro and All Plants, the drop would appear to be non-core gardening related as all those areas increased sales week on week. Thank goodness for more gardening activity going on!
