THIS WEEK

UK RETAIL SALES REMAIN FLAT IN SEPTEMBER The latest figures from business lobby organisation CBI show retail sales figures for September were relatively unchanged when compared to the same period a year before, a trend that is expected to continue in October.

In the CBI Distributive Trades Survey, 39 per cent of retailers said sales volumes rose when compared to September 2008, while 36 per cent claimed they fell, according to Retail Week.

Asda COO Andy Clarke commented: “After such a difficult summer, it is encouraging to see signs that conditions in the retail sector are stabilising. However, with unemployment rising, wage growth low, and consumers building up their savings, spending is likely to remain subdued for some time.”

MCV offers a weekly digest of the latest news on the High Street...

We are lucky, in that we are the only dedicated games store in the area. Our competition is a supermarket, so we are unique in that respect.

It is difficult to say if anything has been underperforming. It seems most recent

What are the biggest challenges facing your store?

The Grainger Games brand was not well known in Billingham, so we had to push hard to get our name known. We launched the store at the same time as a local shopping centre had its official opening.
