Grosvenor has revealed that Liverpool ONE has bucked national trends since the start of 2023, with a 16.5 per cent uplift in sales compared to the same period in 2022.
The year-on-year rise outperforms the national picture, with an average increase of 5.2 per cent in sales being recorded across the country according to the latest BRC data.
Liverpool ONE has also seen a 6.5 per cent increase in footfall for the year to date versus 2022 and is forecasting an increase of around eight per cent in the run-up to summer as the city prepares for the Eurovision Song Contest, plus seasonal peaks expected at Easter and May half term.
Iain Finlayson, Estate Director at Liverpool ONE, said: “We have had a good start to the year, with a 16.5 per cent sales increase that we can attribute to the excellent performance across our stores, especially among footwear, sports and leisure and beauty. We have continued to strengthen not only the retail offering, but also brought new additions to our hospitality and leisure options, with cafés in particular outperforming the sales average.
