| Footfall Insights August 2025 | 24 Aug 2025 | 00:10:43 | |
Diane Wehrle CEO at Rendle Intelligence and Insights joins Simon for their monthly chat about footfall trends. July retail data shows positive signs with spending down only 1.4% compared to 8.5% in June, though footfall decreased by 1.7% as consumers remain cautious with their spending. The warm weather has encouraged more UK residents to holiday at home, redirecting spending into local economies rather than abroad. • Five key retail sectors (fashion, food and drink, general retail, grocery, health and beauty) all showed improvement in July Looking ahead to August, if the good weather continues and staycations remain popular, we might see further improvements in retail spending figures #theproductivityexperts | |||
