The retail chain Rusta made a profit before tax of 324 million kronor for the period November-January, an increase from 313 million kronor for the same period the previous year.
Revenues rose from 3,247 million to 3,483 million kronor.
However, profitability, measured as profit per sold item, decreased slightly.
"Rusta continues to grow during the important third quarter, driven by both an increasing number of customers and a higher average shopping basket", writes CEO Göran Westerberg in the quarterly report.
