Christmas opened for trading last week at Notcutts Wheatcroft. Manager Steve Cole told GTN Bestsellers his team, including catering staff, had worked extra shifts until midnight for many days to complete their main displays in time for opening to trade during week ending September 23rd.  

“We’ve had customers phoning us for weeks asking when Christmas would be open so although there are still some product lines to come in we’re now open for Christmas business and initial sales have been excellent,” said Steve, pictured below.

Wheatcroft has over 10,000 Sage club members who will be invited to a special Christmas Event in October.  Christmas hampers are also selling well from their expanded Gourmet food department.

With more garden centres opening their Christmas displays this weekend and customers welcoming the early opportunity to browse and buy we could be in for a bumper October.
