It's a good day for many S&P/ASX 300 Index (ASX: XKO) retail shares, with some market favourites launching as high as 50%.

Their gains follow news Australian retail turnover reached another record high in June, lifting 0.2% – a sixth consecutive monthly increase. Though, it's also the smallest increase of this year so far.

The Australian Bureau of Statistic's Ben Dorber notes cost-of-living pressures – driven by rising inflation, which hit 6.1% last quarter – seem to be slowing spending growth. He said:

Given the increases in prices we've seen in the Consumer Price Index, it will also be important to look at changes in the volumes of retail goods in next week's release of quarterly data.

But that doesn't appear to have dampened sentiment for ASX 300 retail shares on Thursday.

These three favourites have rocketed higher. Let's take a closer look at their outstanding performances.

Kogan.com Ltd (ASX: KGN)
