    New SPAR store opens in South Queensferry in Edinburgh

    SPAR Scotland welcomes independent retailer Mohammad Akhtar with the opening of his store at South Queensferry, Scotstoun Grove in Edinburgh, Scotland.

    Following a small refurbishment, the 1,000sqft store, which was previously with Premier, has officially opened and offers local customers a range of licensed products- lotto, Payzone, Rollover Hot Dogs, Tango Ice Blast, coffee, F’real and Porrelli ice cream.

    Akhtar, who owns another independent store, said: “I am very glad I have joined the SPAR family. They are a great company to work with and the support you get is second to none.

    SPAR Scotland has a fantastic range and availability has been extremely strong. The team have been so accommodating throughout the pandemic. My business is thriving in a very competitive market and sales continue to grow every week.

    “I’m excited to bring my other store to SPAR Scotland and I’m already searching for a larger venture with SPAR.

    Derek Murray, Regional Sales Manager for SPAR Scotland, said: “We are delighted to welcome Mohammad and his team to SPAR. Our focus will be on helping Mohammad grow his business to help take it to the next level. We are committed to investing in the growth of our independent retailer network which is a key ingredient in our success. This latest store opening underlines our commitment to growing the business not just in the short term, but for the long term as well.”
