UK grocery retailer Waitrose said it has “continued to outshine the industry” after booking a rise in third-quarter sales.
Yesterday (10 November) the company said sales were up 10.1% for the quarter ended 30 October. Its online business is growing, boosted by the opening of a ‘dark store’ in Acton last month, the retailer added.
