Londis has announced that its pre-sales for Christmas confectionery and grocery are the strongest experienced throughout the company’s 51 year history.
It said a larger amount of products have been ordered by a greater number of retailers.
Londis’ retail partners placed 853 orders in total, surpassing last year’s record of 840.
Londis said the result was especially impressive given that retailers had a shorter period of time to complete their orders due to the impending World Cup, plus the fact that the Budget (22 June) fell during this time.
Paul Courtney, Londis sales director, said: “These strong figures highlight the confidence that our retailers have in both the Londis range and promotions we are offering. It also speaks volumes about the overall convenience market and I’m delighted that Londis is leading the way with increased sales.”
