CJ Lang & Son has welcomed Barry’s Stores to Spar Scotland.
Barry’s Stores, which is run by father and son Barry and Steven Oujla, is a group of four stores in the south of Glasgow and Paisley. The independent retailer has been operating since 1981 and employ 30 people.
Colin McLean, Chief Executive for CJ Lang & Son, said: “We are delighted to welcome Barry’s Stores to Spar. They are firmly part of their local community with over 40 years’ experience in the convenience sector. It’s fantastic to see Steven working alongside his father as the next generation of independent retailing. The longevity of a family business is important.
“We have exciting plans for the stores. Spar Clarkston has already been refitted and their other three stores will be fully refitted in the coming months. SPAR Giffnock will be extended into the unit next door to create more space for fresh and a beer cave. SPAR Cathcart will receive a modernised shop front, whilst Spar Paisley will be given a new exterior and refit inside.
“We look forward to supporting the family as they grow and develop their business over the years.”
