During the period, Like for Like sales were up 14.7% with gross sales rising to £2.1m from £1.9m in the preceding 13 week period, representing 11% sales growth.

At the same time, a new food transformation programme was launched in-store which means a whole range of savoury lines (including the filled croissants and Italian Schiacciata breads) are now freshly made in the store to enhance food quality and freshness. Since the new food range was initiated, food sales at H+H have grown 24%.
