In this episode, Wayne Rigney, Co-Founder of The Retail Score, breaks down the October 2025 trading results across the Australian retail sector. Drawing on anonymised data from over 100 leading retailers, he explores the key factors driving the month's 3% year-on-year sales growth and what it means heading into the busiest period of the year.

Wayne also takes a deep dive into Black Friday, analysing early performance indicators, consumer behaviour shifts, and predictions for how this year's event will unfold. From discounting trends to category performance, he unpacks where retailers are finding opportunities — and where caution may be needed.
