That went well for the clothing and shoe stores in June. It shows figures from the Swedish Trade as they publish today. Clothing trade rose by over 6 per cent compared with June last year.
In the spring, sales have been sluggish, it testifies several clothing retailers about Bollnas, but now the started.
– The sale in May, June and even July promises to be very positive.
What do you think is that?
– First, you have the weather. There might not be so damn much to do on the beach, then the man and instead do their shopping. Partly this is the store location in Bollnäs not so equipped today. We have a fairly large proportion of this, says Peter Soderstrom, owner of Pepe’s Fashion Bollnas.
Style index from the Swedish Trade shows that clothing sales rose 6.7 percent in June compared to same period last year. Footwear sales accounted for an even larger increase of 9.6 percent.
Mikael Sandström branch chairman of the Swedish Trade Style believe that there was a pent-up need to shop for shoes and clothes in June as sales went bad in May. But it was not just a pent-up shopping needs as did higher sales.
– It becomes more common that people get tax refunds in June, says Mikael Sandström.
Birgitta Andersson Store Safin Bollnas has also sold well in June and she gives another explanation for the sales increase.
– Perhaps all the talk of local trade and that you should shop locally and safeguard the stores have , has had an impact. Maybe you measured to shop on the internet.
If you look at the numbers throughout the year, clothing and footwear sales from January to June, is the sale of plus, but it is very small, 0.4 percent.
– You could say that people spend more money on things other than clothes and shoes. Much of consumption can now access to restaurants and taverns and coffee latte and even bigger buns says Mikael Sandström branch chairman of the Swedish trading style.
It’s tough to sell clothes in Bollnäs, says Ingela Östlund who own shop Season .
– If I look outside my shop it goes slow. Many leave here, when to buy, many online shoppers. If you look at the surface in Bollnäs Municipality, it is too small, we are too few. During the summer months, when we have tourists in town are sales always better.
