All in a dough’s work Spar wholesaler James Hall & Co makes a piece of history.
ames Hall & Co, Spar wholesaler for the north of England, is set to make its 60 millionth sandwich since production began in 2009. The family-run business, which serves a network of over 600 independent and company-owned Spar stores across the north of England, produces a range of nine sandwiches and makes over 21,000 of these a day at its purpose-built distribution centre in Preston.
The milestone demonstrates how demand for food-to-go products – including sandwiches – has increased within the convenience market. The sale of the sandwiches has also raised £600,000 for the Marie Curie and NSPCC charities. Peter Dodding, Sales and Marketing Director at James Hall & Co, said: “We are in a great place that is far ahead of what we could have imagined.”
