The latest Kantar data for the 12 weeks to 8 August shows retail sales down 3.9%, reflecting the move towards normality with limited hospitality reopening. However, compared with the same period in 2019, sales are €333.2m higher, which is a 13.9% increase.
It has been a good period for sales of chilled burgers and grilling meats (steaks) – sales are up by €579,000 for this 12-week period, which includes two bank holiday weekends and coincided with a period of excellent summer weather.
Less money, €917,000, was spent online, but interestingly, this was due to customers spending less, as the number of online shoppers remained steady at 14%.
