B&M has posted a jump in sales during the lockdown which has been driven by an exceptionally strong performance in grocery, DIY and gardening categories – the most predominant category being both the DIY and gardening categories.
The retailer has been inundated with customers looking to stock up on gardening tools amid warm weather and lockdown restrictions, many people are making the most of the situation and giving their gardens and outside spaces some much needed TLC.
B&M said revenue growth has continued since the start of its new financial year. In the eight weeks to May 23, like-for-like sales in its core UK business surged almost twenty three percent.
