Blakemore Retail opens Spalding store
The store is located on a main road connecting Spalding and the town of Bourne and will serve the local community and commuters.
Blakemore Retail has opened a new Spar convenience store on Winsover Road, in Spalding, Lincolnshire.
The purpose-built 2,584sq ft retail unit, which is located on a main road connecting Spalding and the town of Bourne, opened its doors on 28 April.
The store features a DailyDeli hot food counter that converts from a serve-over style solution at breakfast to a self-serve, pick & mix-style offer at lunchtime. Meals from the counter will be available from 7am to 6pm, as well as chilled food-to-go, including sandwiches, baguettes and salads that have been freshly prepared onsite.
Takeaway beverage options include self-serve F’Real milkshakes and smoothies, Tango Ice Blast frozen drinks, and Philpotts coffee.
Customers looking for meal solutions can choose from AF Blakemore’s County Bridge fresh meat range and hundreds of products across fresh, chilled, and grocery categories.
Blakemore Retail Managing Director, Matt Teague, commented: “We are very excited to have opened this brandnew modern convenience store here in Spalding, and I know that the local community will enjoy all of the services it has to offer.
“As the store is purpose-built, all of the features have been designed specially with the customer in mind and offer something for everyone.
“The site is a major investment for Blakemore Retail and part of our longterm commitment to growing our business profitably and sustainably for the benefit of colleagues, customers, and communities.”
Two self-scan checkouts have been introduced to the store and a defibrillator has been fitted to the exterior.
The store has created 20 full- and part-time jobs for the local community.
