Independant retailers still look thrive through pandemic
Costcutter Southfields, Letchworth
Costcutter Southfields, Letchworth
Letchworth “They’ve only been running the store for a month but the new owners of Southfields Costcutter in Letchworth are already a big hit with local shoppers. Store owner, Fatih ‘Face’ Kilic, has seen sales increase to £48,000 a week, compared with £33,000 before and he’s confident that will only increase, thanks to the increased range and choice.”
Costcutter Saxmunden, Suffolk
Costcutter Saxmunden, Suffolk
“Costcutter is always happy to welcome a new store to the family but the lockdown has made it hard for some retailers to make the full switchover. For the newly joined Saxmunden Costcutter in Suffolk, the lockdown came just before it was due to have a refurbishment. Despite that being delayed, Danny Pont’s forecourt store has increased sales by 25% since he joined, all because of the popularity of the Costcutter range and Co-op Own Brand products.”
Costcutter Crankhall Lane, West Midlands
Costcutter Crankhall Lane, West Midlands
“It’s safe to safe that Shahih ‘Danny’ Ahmed, store owner of Crankhall Lane, West Midlands, is very happy about joining the Costcutter family. Since refurbishing in March, the Birmingham store has seen daily footfall triple to 1,000 customers, basket spend increase from £3.29 to £14 and weekly sales go from £5,000 to £30,000.”
