Adjusted sales up for Kesko's speciality store division

Sales in the DIY and speciality store division of the Finnish Kesko Group totalled € 2.5707 bn for the first nine months of this year. The figure is 7.8 per cent down on the same period in the previous year, but calculated in local currencies (and not including the Anttila store chain sold in March), it equates to an increase of 2.1 per cent. The company has not stated what the share of the home improvement segment alone is for the overall period. In September this segment increased its sales in local currency by 3.6 per cent.
