The group said its strong results were supported by higher average monthly sales per store, led by strong performance of its standalone stores and lower sales from a year ago due to the movement restrictions.

Total transactions for the quarter rose 21.7% to 29.9 million from 24.6 million.

“Our breadth of products has expanded to about 18,000 stock keeping units (SKUs) today and we are investing in growing our e-commerce platform and in managing efficiencies. These have been the cornerstones of our growth strategy which continue to deliver sound results, ” he added.
The group’s store network grew by a net 54 stores across its three brands, comprising 30 new MR DIY stores, 22 new MR DOLLAR stores and two new MR TOY stores.
As at March 31,2021, total number of stores stood at 788, of which 713 were MR DIY stores, 39 MR TOY stores and 36 MR DOLLAR stores.
This year, the group aims to open a further 121 stores across its three brands.

“In addition, the home improvement industry is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 10.7% over five years from 2020-2025, which indicates that there is significant scope for our business to further penetrate the home improvement retail market, ” it added.
