Independent, the brand owned by Costcutter, has launched a new range of pre-packed sandwiches.
The range, offering standard sandwiches, deep fill sandwiches, wraps and sub rolls, has 17 different variants; from the staple Ham and Cheese sandwich and a deep fill BLT to wraps including Southern Fried Chicken and Chicken and Stuffing sub rolls.
The sandwiches, which are available direct to store, are the latest addition to the Independent range and are competitively priced while also offering retailers a strong margin. A consumer meal deal is also available with consumers buying a sandwich and a drink and getting a free bag of Independent Specialist crisps. The meal deal is supported in store with a full suite of POS materials.
Independent has teamed up with sandwich manufacturer Greencore to develop a range for Costcutter, Mace, Kwiksave, Supershop and Simply Fresh retailers.
Jenny Wilson, Marketing Director for Costcutter Supermarkets Group, said: “The lunchtime market is a key trading point for retailers with the UK sandwich market worth £6.5bn. This new range of Independent sandwiches and wraps is part of our continued focus on delivering a quality fresh offer, giving our retailers a quality product range with which to take advantage of this growing category and offer great value to their customers.”
