Sales volumes grew by 2.7 percent in non-specialized food and beverage shops, while a sales decline of 3.1 percent was seen in specialized food, beverage, and tobacco stores.

Sales via mail order and the internet, which account for 8.5 percent of total retail sales, increased 5.0 percent from last year.
