Half-term week sales could make it a record October
GTN Bestsellers predicts that half-term week will make this October a record month.
Our current data is showing all sales running currently 6% up on last year. With the weather forecast staying good for Halloween weekend, prospects for garden centre trading are far from scary.
With Christmas sales running at 33% up year on year, sales volumes overall could get back to parity for the whole year if trends continue at the present rate. Good news indeed.
