Retail sales in Britain dipped 0.5% last month, even as a scorching heatwave and World Cup fever raged — people just weren’t rushing to malls. Non-food stores took the biggest hit, down 1.3%, as summer clothes shopping slowed and some retailers pushed sales into June. Food and drink saw a boost thanks to BBQs and pub culture, but those aren’t counted in retail stats. Furniture sales also fell, with heatwaves disrupting deliveries and dampening redecorating urges. Retailers now look to autumn to reignite shopper interest with new collections and deals.
