Awards Profile: Best Soft Drinks Retailer of The Year

YOU can’t sell an empty shelf, that’s a given, but it also happens to be the winning motto for Tracy McNeil, store manager at Clydebank Co-op Keystore More Kilbowie.
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.
