Spar Freuchie, situated in the heart of a farming area in Fife, has hosted a launch day for local shoppers.
Owned by CJ Lang & Son, the Dundee based retailer and wholesaler for Spar in Scotland, the 2,203sq ft store has been refitted internally and externally with new energy efficient refrigeration, floor and wall coverings throughout.
The team also installed additional shelving to enhance the range offer to customers, new internal and external graphics, and the counter area has been given a makeover with the addition of Spar Scotland’s CJ’s branded food-to-go area providing shoppers with a range of hot and cold food-to-go.
The store also features an off licence section, fresh fruit & veg, a range of news and magazines, grocery, Rollover hotdogs, F’real shakes and smoothies, and chilled and fresh food products. Services provided include the Lottery, Post Office, Paypoint, Cashback, and an ATM.
The store invited local villagers to attend a launch party to celebrate the store refit. The Spar spinning wheel was on hand to give-away 100 goody bags and a variety of prizes including Spar shopping vouchers.
In addition, suppliers such as Rollover, Barr, and Stuart’s the Bakers provided shoppers with free samples and there were special offers on a host of Spar own label products and leading branded daily essential food and drink items.
The event also saw three local charities were presented with cheque donations. Freuchie Community Council, to support its local food larder, and Freuchie in Flower each received a £500 donation. In addition, £1,000 was given to Freuchie Bowling Club to refresh their village green in preparation for their centenary in 2024.
Sonya Harper, Central Operations Director at Spar Scotland, said: “Spar Freuchie is a village store positioned at the heart of the community, employing 12 local colleagues. The store offers a wide range of essential food and drink products as well as important services for the local community to use. This store has been well refurbished and now offers both local customers and visitors to the area a great in-store shopping experience.”
Spar Freuchie is open 6am – 10pm, Monday to Saturday and 7am – 10pm on Sundays.
