Last updated 13:45, Wednesday, 20 August 2008

NETTO stores in Cumbria have announced a summer sale with an ‘extra’ 25 per cent off the price of all non-food items to help lift the credit crunch gloom.

Summer sales drive: The Netto store in Whitehaven. The company is reducing some prices by 25 per cent

The sale, which runs from next Thursday until Sunday, August 31, includes reductions on hundreds of household items in furniture, electricals, audio/visual, hobby, DIY, toys, clothes and fashion, homeware, stationery and garden goods.

Netto – which has stores in Carlisle, Whitehaven and Barrow – has become famous for offering a huge variety of special deals to customers, as well as fresh fruit and vegetables, chilled and frozen produce and a combination of own brand label goods and big brands.

Netto will also repeat the sale between Thursday, September 25 and Sunday, September 28.

Simon Finch, Netto’s district manager in the area, said: “Our non-food items are always some of our biggest sellers in Cumbria.

“As consumers’ budgets become tighter in the current economic climate we have taken the decision to reduce these special items to give our customers even greater value for money.”
