Hot October dents gardening but Christmas sales grow
The unseasonally warm weekend at the start of October could have been a great driver for autumn gardening but in reality it seems most people took advantage of the weather outside to entertain, and when they did visit centres they bought more Christmas products than the previous week.
Most centre managers and owners we have spoken to are really pleased the weather has gone back to “normal” for the time of year with half term and Halloween just around the corner.
