H&M CHEERS SALES RISE
FASHION retailer Hennes & Mauritz saw sales at its established stores rise sharply by ten per cent in July compared with a year earlier as the firm reaped the benefit of an improving global economy. Total sales in the month, which include newly opened stores, were up 21 per cent. The outfit said it had suffered a slow spring season while the economy remained rocky, but summer had been better.
