Spar Scotland has announced that exhibition space for its 2025 Inspiring Success Tradeshow in Aviemore has sold out.
Bringing together more than 800 delegates from across the Scottish convenience retail sector, the show has reached a new milestone with 210 suppliers confirmed to exhibit, marking a record number of participants and underlining the event’s status as the largest convenience retail tradeshow in Scotland. With exhibition space now completely sold out, suppliers are set to highlight a mix of new product development and bestselling lines, helping to shape retail momentum heading into 2026.
Colin McLean, CEO of Spar Scotland, said: “We are pleased to report that we have sold out this year’s tradeshow for exhibitors – a clear sign of how significant the event has become in the Scottish convenience calendar. It’s fantastic to welcome a record 210 suppliers and I look forward to hearing their contributions throughout the day as we explore what success looks like for 2026 and beyond. We remain absolutely focused on bringing the best of Spar to shoppers, suppliers and independent retailers alike.”
In addition to the busy tradeshow floor, CJ Lang colleagues will be inspired by Alf Dunbar, creator of the ‘You Are The Difference’ coaching programme, whose motivational talk draws on real-life retail experience to energise store teams.
Key suppliers will also be presenting at the Tradeshow event throughout the day, talking about NPD, category and market insights and much more.
The day will conclude with a gala dinner and live entertainment, during which the Spar Scotland Awards will be presented to outstanding stores, retailers and suppliers.
A limited number of delegate spaces are still available. To register or find out more, email discover@sparscotland.co.uk today.
