UK: Cold Snap Boosts Blacks’ Festive Sales
British sports, fashion and outdoor clothing retailer Blacks Leisure posted a 16.2 per cent rise in festive sales on Wednesday thanks mainly to the recent cold snap that hit the country.
Like-for-like sales for the six weeks to January 5 jumped 9.4 per cent as the freezing conditions made up for the mild weather that hit sales of outdoor clothing during October and November.
