Wesfarmers Limited today announced its retail sales results for the first quarter of the 2017 financial year. Managing Director Richard Goyder said that the sales performance of the Group’s retail businesses, with the exception of Target, built on the strong sales growth achieved in the prior corresponding period. “Coles’ headline food and liquor sales increased by 2.9 per cent for the quarter, building on the strong growth achieved in the previous corresponding period,” Mr Goyder said. “Coles continues to invest in value, service and quality, supported by ongoing efficiency improvements across the business. “Bunnings Australia and New Zealand achieved total sales growth of 7.4 per cent during the quarter, extending its very strong performance despite an impact from the stock liquidation activities of the Masters business. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, good progress continues to be made to reshape the business, with sales of £320 million ($554 million) for the quarter, in line with expectations. “Kmart recorded strong sales growth of 11.2 per cent, with a continued focus on lowest prices and the customer experience delivering growth across all categories.
