Company-owned store Spar Halbeath, in Dunfermline, has introduced the premium coffee-to-go brand Barista Bar.
Spar Scotland has installed two new Barista Bar units in the store’s entrance.
The installation at Halbeath is a first in terms of Spar Scotland’s company-owned store estate with another eight installs due to take place in March and each consecutive month thereafter. Spar Scotland has ambitious plans to install Barista Bar in every company-owned store in Scotland by 2025.
Colin McLean, Chief Executive of CJ Lang & Son, said: “Spar Halbeath is a fantastic store, and we are delighted it was chosen as the first Spar Scotland company owned store to launch with Barista Bar. When it comes to coffee, our mission is simple.
“We are looking to elevate the convenience store coffee experience by serving our customers with the finest coffee. Barista Bar is a premium coffee-to-go offer and our exclusive brand franchise agreement is an excellent commercial proposition for all convenience and forecourt stores looking to boost their coffee sales in Scotland.”
Keavy O’Mahony-Truesdale, Barista Bar Brand Manager, added: “The launch of Barista Bar in Scotland is extremely exciting and Spar Scotland has made a huge commitment to making the product a resounding success.”
To celebrate the grand opening of Barista Bar in Spar Halbeath, the store is offering local shopper’s giveaways and a special promotion – buy any Barista Bar hot drink and get a CJ’s morning roll for just £1.25. Additionally, customers and store colleagues were offered free Barista Bar coffee to sample on the day.
