A report from the Belfast Telegraph newspaper writes that in addition to chocolate, consumers are also turning to sweets as a treat, with the store reporting a 30 per cent sales increase in non-chocolate confectionery.
“Chocolate is an affordable luxury, it doesn't cost a huge amount and makes people feel better," said a Selfridges spokeswoman cited in the article.
“We have seen a big increase in people buying chocolate in the store," she added.
