A look at what’s going on across the convenience channel
Snappy Group is very happy
SNAPPY Group says it has enjoyed another record-breaking 12 months, with growth of more than 50% year on year.
The operator of c-store home delivery app Snappy Shopper revealed its technology had been used to complete 5.5million orders across its network of 1,800-plus merchants.
And Snappy Shopper’s partnership with Nisa has delivered £12m in sales since 2020. The highest performing of 77 stores is Nisa Nitshill, Glasgow, which has achieved sales worth £2.2m in that time.
Snappy Shopper has also teamed up with ITS, one of the UK’s leading EPOS suppliers, to integrate its technology with the delivery app’s retailers.
The aim is to give shopkeepers the most cutting-edge tools and data to achieve quicker deliveries and control a bigger and more relevant store range to aid improved basket spend and efficiency.
Snappy boss Mike Callachan said: “We are proud of our growth in a difficult climate.”
Scotmid stores now hae meat
SCOTMID will now be selling We hae meat’s chippy-style battered pork sausage and battered black pudding at 125 of its stores.
The listing comes after the family-run Ayrshire business was named a winner in last September’s Scotmid Scottish Favourites competition, when the two products were sold in stores on a three-week promotion.
Jessica van Tromp, local sourcing manager at Scotmid, said: “We hae meat’s commitment to excellence has paid off.”
We hae meat boss Carlyn Paton said: “We’re proud that we can provide our tasty products to more customers than ever before.”
Loch Lomond Distillery is a global hit
THE Loch Lomond Distillery has won the Most Awarded Distillery of the Year accolade at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
The distillery is known for its flagship Scotch single malt Loch Lomond expressions, single grain Spearhead whisky and Noble Rebel range of blended malt Scotch.
Together, the brands received a total 21 awards at the Californian event.
Loch Lomond Group boss Colin Matthews said: “To receive over 20 individual awards underlines the work that has been delivered in recent years to define our ranges. We have exciting releases in the pipeline.”
