Discount supermarket chain Netto is claiming 12.4% growth in shopper numbers in the UK during 2007.

It welcomed more than 11 million customers during December and recorded total sales growth of 11% during 2007, the company said today.

Richard Lancaster, managing director for Netto in the UK, said: “This tangible growth in customer numbers proves that UK consumers are increasingly receptive to our unrivalled combination of price, quality and choice.

“More and more people are discovering that Netto is changing but our focus on price and quality remains constant.

“Christmas provided us with the ideal opportunity to show shoppers that they didn’t need to ‘trade up’ to other supermarkets to purchase their festive treats. We extended our range of premium own label products from mince pies and Christmas puddings to luxury crackers, all of which proved hugely popular.”

Netto has 181 UK stores at present and plans to open at least 25 more over the next 12 months.

The first store of the New Year will open on Thursday 31 January 2008 on Huddersfield Road in Oldham, Lancashire.
