"The brand's ShopperTrak Analytics data, which captures 40 billion store visits globally each year, showed that total UK footfall over the weekend was up compared to 2024 (+0.7%) - traffic on Sunday (30 Nov 2025) jumped +5% year-on-year and +13.2% week-on-week. Saturday (29 Nov 2025) saw lower levels of store visits compared to 2024 (-1.9%) but rose +19.4% against the week prior. High Streets were the best performing retail destination across the weekend, with footfall rising +1.5% year-on-year across the two-days."
""After a mixed start, the Black Friday weekend delivered a welcome boost to retailers, even amid consumer anxieties around tightening budgets and rising costs," said Andy Sumpter, EMEA Retail Consultant at Sensormatic Solutions. "Despite these worries, UK shoppers showed up and have kicked off their Christmas planning - and purchasing - in earnest, leaning into the discounting and offers available across Black Friday to make sure their festive budgets work as hard as possible.""
"Although Black Friday is behind us, some of the festive season's busiest in-store shopping days are still ahead, according to Sensormatic Solutions predictions. Super Saturday (20 Dec 2025) is expected to be the busiest day for shopper counts, while the last full shopping day before Christmas (Tue, 23 Dec 2025) is tipped to be the third busiest day for footfall."
