UK retail footfall improved marginally ahead of the planned reopening of non-essential businesses, helped by an earlier Easter, the BRC said Friday, with the BRC-Shoppertrak footfall monitor falling by 68.7% in March compared to March 2019*. Warmer weather and consumers feeling more confident about visiting shops provided a small boost to footfall to open retail sites across the month Helen Dickinson CEO of the British Retail Consortium said.
Retailers are looking forward to April 12 when non-essential shops reopen. "Non-food retail stores will have lost £30bn in foregone sales over the three lockdowns. It is essential they are able to trade effectively from April 12, and remain open." Dickinson added.
*The BRC noted that all 2021 footfall figures are now compared with 2019 (pre-pandemic) to make a meaningful comparison. Hence, the 2021 figures are now year-on-two-year (Y/2Y) values
