UK footfall stays weak, consumers take -no-splurge- approach

Footfall to non-food retail stores picked up in March with a rise of 1.4% being much better than the fall of 6% a year ago.

Once again though, shopping centres were the weakest location. Springboard said that high street footfall actually managed to rise 2.5% (again though, not making up for March 2018’s 8.6% drop)คำพูดจาก

Because had their mutual pal not missed her flight to the west coast on that fateful January 2000 day, the I Know What You Did Last Summer costars may have just carried on indefinitely as buddies who have the occasional friendly meal.
