Majestic Wine has reported its Christmas sales growth has amounted to 6.8 per cent leading up to the 10-week period ending on December 31.
Its group gross profit climbed up by 8.2 per cent despite the recent challenges within the retail market.
The week before Christmas saw a like-for-like increase of 47 per cent in sales at Majestic.
“The team have worked really hard over the Christmas trading period and have delivered sales growth across all our business units,” Majestic Wine group chief executive Rowan Gormley said.
He added: “While trading has been challenging over the Christmas period, the trends we reported in November are the same (namely strong growth in our overseas markets and our digital propositions but headwinds for our UK Retail stores).”
We look forward to setting out more of our future plans for the group, including the Retail business with our full year results in June.”
