Dixy’s like-for-like sales were hit by a 2.2% drop in footfall and a reduction in opening hours – part of the group’s rationalisation programme that is targeting higher returns. Nevertheless, Dixy was able to grow basket size by 6.23% – more than offsetting the reduced number of transactions.

The company said total like-for-like sales gained 3.9% in the period.
