October sets new records for sales

 

Despite the lull in footfall and sales caused by the petrol ‘crisis’ at the start of October, overall garden centre sales performed at high levels to set a new record volume, according to the weekly EPOS data analysed by GTN Bestsellers.

 

October 2021 total volumes were 4.7% higher than 2020 and 26% higher than the average for the month over the previous nine years.
