Dunelm quarterly sales jump on online demand, in-store recovery

British home furnishing retailer Dunelm posted a 37% jump in first-quarter sales on Thursday as it benefited from higher online demand for its homewares, as well as in-store recovery following the initial round of lockdowns.

The company, which sells furnishings ranging from cushions and bedding to kitchen equipment, said sales rose to 359.1 million pounds for the 13 weeks ended Sept. 26.
