Asda’s second-quarter like-for-like sales were in the high single digits, Wal-Mart said, adding that growth was driven by an increase in both the number of customers and the amount of shopping purchased in individual visits.
Food sales were strong during the quarter, with comparable store sales in the high single digit range, the company said.
