INNOVATIVE MANCHESTER BUSINESS STORE RETAIL GROUPPENS LONG-TERM TRADING DEAL WITH COSTCUTTER.

Highly innovative Manchester-based retailing business Store Retail Group (SRG) has signed a new long-term trading partnership with Costcutter Supermarkets Group.

Formerly with Simply Fresh, the multi award-winning Group, headed up by well-known and highly regarded retailer Mital Morar, operates six stores across the Manchester region and the deal is a major coup for Costcutter.

SRG agreed terms and commenced trading with Costcutter earlier this month. The partnership will see Costcutter work alongside Mital to provide expertise and support to further develop his creative retail business. It will also supply both centrally and direct-to-store for the group’s stores which include the General Store and Foodhall brands.

Plans are already underway to expand the partnership with the potential for more sites to be brought onboard under the agreement before the end of 2020 and into 2021.

Commenting on the deal, SRG founder Mital Morar said: “I’m very pleased to be aligning my business with CSG. I’ve been particularly impressed with their partnership approach to business development and the wealth of expertise they can bring to our group. My team and I are excited for the future of our partnership and to already be working collaboratively on a number of new opportunities.”

Jamie Davison, CSG Business Development Director, added: “SRG is a progressive and well-respected group and we are delighted to announce this new partnership. Partnering with Mital and his team is testament to our leading offer and levels of support which will enable SRG to respond to and

thrive in today’s challenging market. We are looking forward to supporting them as they further develop and expand their unique retail offering.”
