Waitrose reports strong sales growth

The British supermarket chain Waitrose has announced impressive sales increases.

 
Sales at Waitrose last week were up by 8.2 per cent on last year and for the third quarter ending October 30th sales continued to outshine the industry with total sales up by 10.1 per cent.

During the period the retailer opened five core branches, three convenience shops and began a little Waitrose trial on two Shell forecourts

The online business is growing strongly and has been boosted by the opening of the company’s Dotcom Fulfilment Centre in Acton. Last week alone, total Waitrose.com orders were up by 50 per cent on the same time last year.
