group total sales including VAT increased by 3% in September compared to
the same month the previous year. This growth was helped by the
addition of 252 new stores over last year ..The figures mean

seven months. In August, same-store sales were flat with the prior year,
but followed a fall of 6% in July, and a drop of 4% in June. But
