Non-food retail sectors are finally showing pre-corona sales levels, with the Office for National Statistics estimating a near 14% increase in Juny 2020! After record declines in March and April, there has been a promising two months of strong growth. Unsurprisingly, the online growth of retail has been far higher. Online grocery sales are up by 5.3% compared to the beginning of the pandemic, and non grocery sales are up by 53.6%. Although this news is extremely positive, over all retail sales have fallen 15% on pre-pandemic levels. Still, the only way is up! Retail is on the up!
