Considering the bumper Black Friday that most retailers, including Hirsch’s, had on November 25, the company was concerned that perhaps Festive Season trading would not be as good. However Hirsch’s saw considerable growth – year on year - over this period, particularly with regards to cooking appliances.

Commented CEO of the company, Allan Hirsch “We were pleasantly surprised with sales of general kitchen and cooking equipment generally, from stoves, hobs, cooker hoods, braais,  slow cookers and  microwaves. This shows a positive side to the economy on the whole – if people are buying this type of equipment, it’s a sign of stability generally.”
