STORE REFURB: JAMES HALL & CO

Spar Howarth ready for the new world order

SPAR WHOLESALER JAMES HALL IS CELEBRATING THE RE=OPENING OF ITS STORE IN HAWORTH AFTER A MAJOR SIX-WEEK REFURB

James Hall & Co, Spar wholesaler for the north of England, is celebrating the re-opening of its Haworth store after a significant six-week refurbishment. Nestled in the picturesque village of Haworth in West Yorkshire, the store now features a much wider range of products and services including a Graham Eyes butchery counter and food-to-go offering, alongside Spar’s freshly ground Fairtrade 100% Arabica coffee brand, Cheeky Coffee.

The village had been served by a pop-up store that maintained a basic range of essentials while the refurb was completed.

Graham Eyes High Class Butchers is a trusted North West family brand, known for great produce and locally sourced meat. Already featured in several northern Spar stores, Graham’s award-winning sausages and homemade ready meals are particularly popular with Spar customers, along with competitive multi-buy deals and seasonal specials.

A new Clayton Park food-to-go offering will serve hot and cold sandwiches, pastries and a selection of cakes, cookies and pies. Spar Haworth employs 25 local people and has served the village since June 1999.

Fiona Drummond, Company Owned Stores Director at James Hall, said: “After 22 years in the village, we are delighted to unveil this latest investment for Spar Haworth, offering residents additional facilities and the very best in modern convenience shopping.

“Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have seen an increase in customers looking to stay local and gain more from their rural convenience store: in addition to the new in-store butchery counter and food-to-go stand, we have also added LED lighting and energy saving fridges, new floors, shelving units and a refreshed fascia.

“The range of products on offer includes a fantastic range of every day essentials, big brand names and plenty of award-winning Spar brand lines.”

The new store is open from 7am to 10.30pm, seven days a week.
