FOOD and drink to go brand partners and even sit-in licensed trade operations were highlighted by Spar UK managing director Debbie Robinson at the firm’s Spar: In Great Shape presentation to suppliers earlier this year.
At the event the Spar senior management team said working together with suppliers can prove beneficial for all the organisations.
“We have a host of strategic partnerships with Costa Coffee, Starbucks, Subway and Greggs, growing our food credentials as well as our own Daily Deli offer,” Robinson said. “We also have a small number of stores that are licensed for on-trade featuring craft beers and wine.”
