British Supermarket Blames Rainy Weather For Poor Barbecue Sales

2019-07-12 0

A British supermarket is blaming bad weather for disappointing sales of summer products.
Sainsbury's suffered a 3.1% drop in sales of general merchandise.
"The weather was very unhelpful" and resulted in "pretty dire" sales of paddling pools and barbecues, management said.
Sainsbury's was barred by regulators from merging with Walmart-owned rival ASDA earlier this year.
