Bestway prides itself on strong connection to UK store owners

THERE can be no better expertise than that of the lived experience.
Regardless of the venture, having someone in your corner who knows the industry inside-out from their own experiences in the field will surely offer plenty of reassurance.
This is what Bestway Retail prides itself on, being a firm that was founded by independent retailers and made for independent retailers, Bestway reckons it can be the ideal partner for owners with its Costcutter and Best-one fascias.
Jamie Davison, retail director at Bestway Retail, said: “We value deeply the role of local retailers in their communities and support initiatives that help stores connect more deeply with their customers, from charity partnerships to local marketing.
“Bestway works closely with store owners to tailor each store to local demographics and shopping habits.”
One such example of this local support network with Bestway comes from the firm’s Xtra Local Retail Club, a strategic initiative designed to support independent retailers through exclusive promotions and marketing resources.
Xtra Local Retail Club members will benefit from promotional deals across leading categories that are backed by some major suppliers including Mondelēz International, Nestlé, Walkers and Heineken.
Davison said: “Here at Bestway, we pride ourselves on the support and investment we make into our retailers – investment which we believe is unprecedented in the convenience grocery market and is central to everything we do.
“Not only do we invest in keeping prices low – to help Scottish retailers make more margin – but we lead the way in support functions such as technology, service and sharing knowledge and expertise.”
