    SPAR Scotland begins major store development programme with Dumfriesshire store relaunch

    SPAR Scotland has relaunched its store at Gatehouse of Fleet, Dumfriesshire after a major refurbishment, as part of their biggest ever company owned store investment programme.

    The latest ‘grab and go’ offering at the store includes ‘CJ’s’ food-to-go offer, back lit spirits, local craft bakery and locally sourced ranges, alongside new chilled beers, wines and spirits zone.

    The store also has the very latest SPAR internal and external graphics package, modernising the overall look of the store.

    “This is all about a fresh look and feel for the SPAR offer in Scotland. Ahead of our peak summer tourist season the fresh look SPAR store at Gatehouse of Fleet is the first of several more seasonal concept stores to open shortly,” Brian Straiton, operations director at CJ lang & Son, said.

    “We have completely modernised our Gatehouse of Fleet customer offer by investing in the latest energy saving refrigeration to expand and highlight the best of the SPAR Scotland chilled and produce offer.”

    The store was officially relaunched on May 6 with Pamela Dale, the store manager, and her team welcoming both existing and new customers into the store. The day also highlighted the strong links built with the community over the past 30 years, when local resident Kym Telfor, who cut the ribbon on the original opening of the SPAR store 30 years ago, also attended the in-store event.

    This investment comes hot on the heels of the company’s first SPAR Market store opened last month in Dalbeattie, Dumfriesshire. The SPAR Market format store is the first of its kind in Scotland, and CJ Lang and Son’s first new company store since 2017, as the SPAR operator is back in the marketplace looking to purchase company owned stores.
