Following continued strong trading across the business, Dunelm has said it expects its full year profits to be ahead of previous expectations.
Since its last trading update on 10 April when it reported that like-for-like sales had increased by 12.5%, the retailer has seen “very good” like-for-like sales growth, particularly in May and June.
This compares to slower growth in the fourth quarter of last year. The retailer said it has benefited from unseasonably favourable weather conditions this year.
Dunelm’s board now expects pre-tax profit for the year to be in the range of £124 million to £126 million.
