Customer count at the group's stores jumped 13.9 per cent during the quarter, with expenses up 7.4 per cent.
'The excellent results achieved by our company during this quarter are a result of our determination and capability to react to an unfavourable environment, said group president and CEO Eduardo Solorzano.
