There has been a very good recovery of overall sales. However, this quarter's performance is not comparable to the same period last year due to the second wave of COVID-19 during that time."We cumulatively opened 110 stores over the last 3 financial years which never got an opportunity to operate in normal circumstances over the last 2 years. These are stores that are larger, better designed and have the capacity to handle large-scale of revenue. These stores have done extremely well in this quarter, Noronha said.This is also the first full quarter of zero disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic. Q1 like Q3 is a good revenue as well as profit-enhancing period due to back to school/college season and the onset of the monsoons, he added.General merchandise and apparel categories saw relatively better traction than the previous quarter but still has some overhang of the COVID-19 led disruptions and acute inflationary impact," Avenue Supermarts Limited, a Mumbai-based company, which owns and operates D-Mart stores, said in a statement.Our discretionary contribution mix of this quarter is yet to reach the pre-pandemic levels but is getting better. High inflation over the last two years hides the possible stress in volume growth for discretionary categories of mass consumption. Value growth through positive volume growth of discretionary products in relatively older stores is the best reflection of the strength of the DMart business, competitive impact and the local economy. We have made good progress in this area during the quarter. We will need another quarter of uninterrupted operations to understand this better, Noronha said in the statement.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
