There’s always a strong entry for the category of Soft Drinks Retailer of the Year, and 2016 was no different. So it’s well done to Polbeth Spar and Service Station and a red letter day in more ways than one for all the team.
It’s just one of the things that makes the SLR Rewards unmissable. All our great suppliers and partners put up fantastic prizes that really are valuable to retailers. So when our friends at Cola-Cola European Partners stepped in to sponsor the Soft Drinks Retailer of the year, the winner was guaranteed a something special. Store supervisor Rhona Anderson knew it was going to be all hands on deck when CCEP’s Louise Kerr arrived with a load of stock in recognition of the team’s achievement.
Somehow store owners Denis and William McCormack contrived to be off the premises at the time, but that’s only because it’s been a big year for Polbeth Spar and Service Station, with big plans for next year too. “This year has been really busy,” said Denis, “and with lots happening locally, like a new school opening and major roadworks, there’s bound to be new customers coming through the doors. We’ll be making some changes to cope, and even opening a Subway. It’s all go.”
That’s not all. There’s a fantastic Red Letter Day in the diary for the winners too. Whether it’ll be skydiving or stunt flying, or something keeping their feet on the ground, like a luxurious spa day of pampering, is entirely up to the winners.
Louise Kerr from Coca-Cola European Partners obviously joined in the celebrations, and with such ambitious owners, and a go-ahead attitude, who’s to say Polbeth Spar won’t be in the running again.
