Spar Scotland has launched a new awards programme to highlight individual store achievements, which have made a positive impact on communities.
The awards will have four categories: Company-owned Store of the Year, Independent Store of the Year, Company-owned Community Store of the Year, and Independent Community Store of the Year.
The criteria for these awards will cover excellence in-store exterior and interior, product display, POS on display, cleanliness, staff/team engagement, and interaction with our customers.
The Community Store of the Year category will specifically look at what a Spar store and retailer has done within their local community in terms of supporting local groups and charities, fundraising events, and how they work hand in hand with their community throughout the year.
Stores will be judged over three months this summer and the winners will be revealed at Spar Scotland’s 2022 tradeshow, being held in Aviemore, on 22 September.
Colin McLean, Chief Executive of Spar Scotland, said: “We know we have some great stores and great retailers, and we want to use our new awards programme to showcase what they do. This will be all about finding and crowning the best of the best in Spar around Scotland.”
More than 180 national and Scottish suppliers are set to attend the Spar Scotland tradeshow, in the heart of Aviemore and the Cairngorms National Park, and supplier registration has been extended until 29 April 2022. For further details call 01382 512000 or email paula.middleton@cjlang.co.uk.
