Those of you still working your way through your £5,000 Fortnum’s Imperial hamper (a sell-out selection of carefully packed Beluga caviar, foie gras truffles, cognac butter, a magnum of champagne 2002 and a bottle of 30-year-old whisky) will be pleased to know that your purchases helped grow sales by 17% in December, with online increases of 45%...

Simply follow the rules of good shop-keeping:
- Location, location, location, (ideally with a 305 year tenure...)
