Challenges hit chain store
Department store chain House of Fraser became the latest retailer to warn over high street conditions as it revealed sales woes amid “very challenging” trading.
The group reported flat sales over the six months to July 30 and said trading had worsened since then.
CEO Nigel Oddy said: “We have, like many of our peers, experienced an extremely volatile trading environment since the final quarter of fiscal year 2016.”
