SPAR Scotland to hold open day for non-SPAR retailers

SPAR Scotland is inviting independent retailers and convenience store operators who are not currently part of SPAR to attend a depot open day on 4 November.

The event, which will be held at the company’s distribution centre in Dundee, will give retailers the chance to explore SPAR Scotland’s depot operations, learn more about its wholesale offering, and meet members of the team to discuss how SPAR Scotland could support their businesses.

Topics will include SPAR Scotland’s unique selling points, such as Iceland products in convenience stores, Barista Bar coffee, CJ’s Food to Go offering, SPAR Dash home delivery, and a platform via Sociolocal delivering hyper local social media pages.

Brian Straiton, sales director at SPAR Scotland, said: “We’re looking forward to welcoming independent retailers to our depot in November and giving them the opportunity to see first-hand what SPAR Scotland has to offer.

“We know that independent retailers are operating in a competitive and ever-changing market, and we want to demonstrate how partnering with SPAR could help them develop their businesses, access a strong product range and benefit from the support of an established convenience retail brand.

“The open day is an opportunity to meet our team, ask questions and explore the possibilities in an informal and welcoming environment. Whether retailers are considering their next steps or simply want to find out more, we would encourage them to come along.”
