Dunelm says its sales rose by 59 per cent in the seven weeks to March 28th and have since performed ahead of the market from the re-opening of its stores on April 12th. Online growth has also continued. The multichannel retailer now expects that its full year pre-tax profits will exceed £148m rather than the £128m-£134m previously expected.
“This high sales growth reflects the strength of our customer proposition and a variety of other factors, including pent-up demand following the extended store closure period, a buoyant homewares market and some benefit from the unseasonably cold spring weather,” commented a company spokesperson.
