“Changing supplies is daunting, better the devil you know. We decided after a recommendation, followed by a number of meetings to take the plunge. What was the deciding factor? The people behind the brand. The enthusiasm to work in your best interests & get it right is second to none. I haven’t met a representative of AWG that I haven’t been impressed by their commitment, dedication & hard work. It’s still early days but if this is the standard I can expect then my decision was a sound one.”
The 300 sq.ft. Forecourt store in London Street, Andover had been supplied by Palmer and Harvey for over 30 years, but Tony and Gill decided they needed to switch symbol groups in order to move the business forward.“We decided to join SPAR because people trust the brand more and know what SPAR is and what it stands for. People in the area didnt really know the Nisa name in the same way, and the switch to SPAR has paid off with increased sale.”
“I have been running my convenience stores for the last 20 years working with different symbol groups. Recently we opened a store in a village & we joined SPAR. The professional set up is remarkable. Everybody is helpful & committed to grow the business. Even their delivery drivers are fantastic. I will definitely recommend SPAR if any retailer looking to open a new store or thinking of switching over the existing store.”
“The change in the store is amazing, the SPAR brand depth and range is great, our customers keep commenting on the new lines we now have in store. BWS sales have increased by 30% and our margin has also increased .”
“Customers have loved the range on offer with SPAR. We are excited, with plans for future growth with our store.”
A decision to move to SPAR after 13 years with Costcutter has delighted customers at Ian McCabe’s store in Penryn, Cornwall. “We had been with Costcutter for a long time and I reached the point where I decided the only way to move the business forward was to switch to SPAR,” said Ian. “SPAR is cutting edge, the clear brand leader in the convience store market and represented a big step up for us.”
“Customers have loved the range on offer with SPAR. We are excited with plans for future growth with our store”
