Independent retailer Roys of Wroxham has reported a 5.8% dip in full-year sales.
Sales fell from £47.7m to £45m in the year to 26 January following the closure in 2007 of the retailer’s store in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, according to accounts filed at Companies House. Pre-tax profits rose by 11.5% to £1.6m during the same period.
Roys, which markets itself as the world’s largest village store, was forced to close the Bury St Edmunds outlet in February last year after the lease ran out and the landlord opted to redevelop the site.
“The directors remain confident that the remainder of the group’s stores will maintain the current level of performance in the future and we remain committed to seeking new opportunities for additional stores,” Roys said.
Roys is currently placed number 17 in The Grocer’s Top 50 ranking of independent grocery retailers, operating seven stores across Norfolk and Suffolk.
