Soft Drinks

SOFT DRINKS RETAILER OF THE YEAR

SPAR RENFREW

Soft drinks is one of the biggest volume categories of all, making it a critical factor in the success of every store – something that Saleem Sadiq has long known in his Spar Renfrew store.

Renfrew retailer Saleem Sadiq is no stranger to the SLR Awards, having claimed more than his fair share over the years. To his enormous credit, he has won the Soft Drinks Retailer of the Year on numerous occasions, a testament to his ability to continually maintain the highest of standards and to continually evolve alongside the changing demands of his shoppers. The judges agreed that “Spar Renfrew’s soft drinks offer is simply about as good as it gets in convenience. A huge range across all key sub-categories, a big selection of larger format packs and multipacks to cater for the current trend for get-togethers and all the latest new products, all presented beautifully.”

To repeatedly triumph in a category that is as competitive and important as soft drinks is an outstanding achievement for Saleem and his dedicated team.

SLR Publisher Antony Begley commented: “Spar Renfrew has been winning awards for as long as we have been running the SLR Awards – which is almost 20 years now – and it’s easy to see why when you visit the store.

“Saleem’s ability to keep the store fresh and inviting and ahead of the curve is uncanny – and having a great team behind him makes all the difference. “His soft drinks offer is pretty much impossible to fault. He ticks every box and has responded perfectly to the latest trends, particularly around larger format and sharing packs. He also gets all of the basics right, every time.”
