The homeware retailer Dunelm Group has reported a 6.3% rise in third-quarter sales this morning as value-seeking consumers flocked to its affordable products, driving demand.
The retailer said its positive performance was driven by broad-based growth across both homewares and furniture categories, alongside a solid start to its new Spring/Summer ranges.
Dunelm CEO Nick Wilkinson said: “We’ve had a good third quarter, with strong growth and further strategic progress. The Dunelm brand continues to attract a broad range of customers, offering outstanding value and quality, and we’re really pleased with how our new ranges are being received.
“We remain committed to driving market share gains through growth across all our channels. March saw the opening of Dunelm’s 200th store in Merthyr Tydfil, an exciting milestone, and we continue to see new opportunities, filling ‘white space’ in our physical estate through a variety of store formats. At the same time, we’re improving customers’ digital experience, including through Click & Collect, which has continued to gain momentum.
“Our customers are now enjoying getting their homes and gardens ready for summer, and we’re focused on being as relevant as possible for the warmer months ahead. We remain very mindful of the wider backdrop and the impact of increased uncertainty on consumer sentiment, but maintain our focus on strengthening Dunelm’s position as The Home of Homes.”
