Christmas makes the tills jingle

Christmas sales are jingling through the tills across the country wherever Christmas displays are open. And customers are loving it, judging by the smiles of delight at the beautiful sparkly displays and the baskets full of christmas products being carried to checkouts.

The GTN Bestsellers Christmas Top 50 reports volume sales up 58% on last week, 62% up on the same week last year and 30% up to date on last year from week 40 onwards.

Overall garden centre christmas sales will actually be higher than the GTN Bestsellers like-for-like analysis. The GTN team have seen more and more garden centres increasing the area devoted to Christmas displays. With brand new centres opening, such as Dobbies at Inverness and Kings Lynn plus Dunbar Garden Centre on the A1 between Berwick and Edinburgh, customers have more choice than ever before.
