James Hall opens 150th SPAR store, in Wakefield

Located in Wentworth Street, the new SPAR store has transformed the site of a derelict former garage forecourt and created 24 jobs in the area.

Open between 7am and 10pm every day, it offers a fantastic range of food to go and hot food, as well as a high-quality Graham Eyes butcher’s counter, tasty Clayton Park Bakery products and a Cheeky Coffee machine.

A Tango Ice machine and F’Real Smoothies and Milkshakes are also offered at the store which also has an ATM service and 16 car parking spaces.

The SPAR store will be serviced by James Hall & Co. Ltd, based at Preston, who are the primary wholesaler and distributor for SPAR stores across the north of England.

“We’re thrilled with the finish of our new Wakefield SPAR store in what is an exciting milestone opening for the company,” said Fiona Drummond, Company Stores Director at James Hall & Co. Ltd.

“It’s smart, spacious, well-lit and has completely changed the environment in the Wentworth Street area of the town, bringing with it a number of employment opportunities for local people.

“It offers the community in Wakefield a brilliant range of services and products at competitive prices too, and we have been overwhelmed by the lovely comments we have received from customers since we opened our doors.

“Our friendly management team of Matt and Michelle are ready to meet and support the needs of customers, together with our dedicated and skilled butchery team led by Martin. We look forward to welcoming Wakefield residents into the store.”
