GEORGE TOWN: Frozen turkeys recorded a 100% increase in demand ahead of Christmas at a hypermarket in Straits Quay here.
Its owner Iman Ikhlas Sdn Bhd executive director Azmin Saduruddin said the store sold only about 20 turkeys in the past, but this year it had already sold 40 of them so far.
“We believe it could be due to travel restrictions, as many expatriates and foreigners who celebrate Christmas did not return home but instead stayed on here.
“The demand started picking up since the end of November and so far, we have sold about 40 birds, double of what was sold within the same period last year, ” he said.
