In-store services
Keeping you at the heart of your community, with the everyday services that matter to your shoppers
Like you, we know that convenience retail is about so much more than the products you sell. That’s why when you join SPAR, we’ll help you develop your in-store services. We work with several branded partners to maximise your store sales opportunities.
We’re one of the Post Office’s largest retail partners, providing you with additional opportunities to drive extra purchases when your customers bring their parcels in store. We’re also one of the largest convenience partners of the National Lottery, generating £11m in sales. What’s more, with the wealth of food service knowledge in our wholesale businesses, we can work with you to recommend the right options to suit your store and your customers.
With over 1000 sites, SPAR is one of the largest symbol forecourt operators in the UK. Thanks to successful partnerships with several fuel companies, we’re able to give you flexibility on fuel, as well as all the support of a symbol group. More importantly, we’ll help you provide your customers with a quality retail experience when they stop to refuel at your store.
And that’s just today. We’re also constantly developing our services to help you meet your shoppers’ needs. Take our Daily Deli food-to-go solution, which includes a hot and cold food service counter and convenient on-shelf pick-up-and-pay items. This ever-evolving range is designed to meet changing customer needs. Because we know that when it comes to convenience retailing, you can’t afford to stand still.
SPAR offers all the support you need to succeed. Find out more about the many benefits joining SPAR brings and register your interest.
SPAR is the symbol group in the UK supported by five regional distribution centres.
Celebrating 10 years of consecutive growth, today more convenience store shoppers consider SPAR stores as a destination to purchase their groceries ahead of other symbol groups (YouGov Shopper Research Q1 2020).
