Sales of paddling pools and sprinklers surge around 1,500% in a week

As temperatures continue to heat up, sales of heatwave essentials are soaring at a similar pace, with Tesco revealing that its newly launched range of affordable paddling pools, inflatables, and water games such as slip n’ slides have been flying off shelves.

Over the past week, the supermarket revealed it has sold 14 times more paddling pools than it did the previous week, while sales of its newly launched inflatable sprinklers and water games have increased by 1568% - equating to 16 times the amount sold the previous week.

However, it’s not just the inflatables that are in high demand, with BBQ sales also more than doubling week on week.

The news comes just a week after Tesco unveiled its brand-new outdoor activity range for summer, which features everything from paddling pools and water games, to kayaks and paddle boards.

Available at selected stores nationwide, with a number of products also available online, the new range aims to make it easier and more affordable than ever for shoppers to make the most of the summer months.
