Volume sales up by a whopping 28%!
Exclusive GTN Bestsellers Garden Centre Epos Data Analysis

 

What a year it has been with volume sales in the GTN Bestsellers Epos data beating last year by a whopping 28% and exceeding 2019 levels by 16%. With all that extra gardening activity going on, it sets the scene wonderfully for a Happy New Year!

 

While high street retailing is reporting a drop in footfall due to Omicron issues, our data indicates that garden centres still seem to be safe places to visit and sales are up on last year for the first two weeks of December.

 

 

We’re taking a break for Christmas now, so we’ll see you all again in the New Year. Have a good one!
