Sales in small stores grows 10.5% y/y in September

In September of this year, the total sales value in small-format stores increased by approximately 10.5% year-on-year, and the number of transactions rose by 2.5%, according to data from the Polish Chamber of Commerce (PIH) and the Market Monitoring Center (CMR). The growth in transactions was largely attributed to the weather, with high temperatures encouraging outdoor activities and more frequent purchases of ice cream and beverages.

Despite slightly smaller purchases compared to September 2022, the average receipt value increased by almost 8%. The month saw significant increases in the sale of impulse and family ice cream packages, functional beverages, isotonic drinks, and other items, while vodka sales declined. Notably, butter sales increased by 10% due to a substantial drop in prices.
