It’s an all-time winter high, according to GTN Bestsellers Epos data
It was a landslide win for garden centres in the first week of December with total sales reaching an all time winter period level, making it the seventh highest week of the year for volume sales.
Even as Christmas shelves start to get depleted – most of the centres we’ve been to recently have all of their stock out now – Christmas sales are still breaking records, and the footfall increase is also leading to high sales in other departments.
With a very low risk of snow between now and December 24th we can rest assured that the year overall will be finishing up 4% on last year and 1% up on the previous annual record set in 2017.
