The pillars will communicate to shoppers how Spar “adds value through promotional activity or everyday pricing, nurtures neighbourhoods by employing people from local communities, supports local causes and charities, celebrates neighbourliness, and showcases local food and producers”, the company said.
The five Spar wholesalers are sharing the new positioning with independent retailers and company-owned stores. Brand guidelines, a retailer video and toolkit have been produced to aid with execution.
Suzanne Dover, Spar UK brand & marketing director, added: “Consumers have rapidly reassessed how they have used convenience stores over the past two years, and they have told us that when we put the needs of the community at the heart of our offer, it is very motivating for them.”
