“The fourth quarter of 2010 followed on from previous months, confirming both the satisfactory level of food consumption and the difficulties already reported in the non-food sector, particularly consumer electronics,” the retailer said.
In 2010, the retailer’s food sales rose 1.8%, while non-food sales dipped 3.9%. The company also benefited from a 0.6% increase in selling space.
Including the impact of fuel sales, Guyenne et Gascogne’s annual revenue rose faster, increasing by 3.7% to EUR604.2m. Fuel sales over jumped almost 15%.
