Awards Profile – Bread & Bakery Retailer of the Year

The first profile for the Scottish Grocer Awards 2023 saw us catching up with Bread & Bakery Retailer of the Year Spar Market Crosshouse, highlighting the strength of the store's range.
The main bakery fixture at Spar, Hillfoot Road in Ayr takes a prime position in Aisle 1 of the store. Wrapped bread and loose rolls take up the first section of the fixture. As consumers make their way down the aisle they pass morning goods in the second fixture section. The substantial local popularity of cake means those products take a large space in the third segment. To make way for the cakes, Spar-branded part-baked bread and world breads are merchandised in a free-standing display unit at the start of the fixture, and the products do well there. The main fixture ends with bake-off products.
