Spar is trialling an innovative new foodservice concept, Daily Deli, which offers fresh salad products, sandwiches, baguettes and accompaniments.
The new concept, which could soon be rolled out across the UK, is trialling at Spar Glenwell in Belfast and includes the installation of a serving counter.
If the trial is successful there will be six different Daily Deli opportunities available to Spar retailers to choose from. These will range from an entry-level offer comprising a self-service counter selling sandwiches, baguettes, chilled snacks and coffee, to a complete Daily Deli offer including a served counter selling hot meals, as well as a self-service option on the shop floor with sandwiches, baguettes, wraps, croissants and more.
The Spar Brand lunchtime range will be rebranded Daily Deli in the store and the nutritional content will be clearly labelled on the packaging.
Spar views the new concept as an opportunity to make the most of the trend for ‘foodvenience’ – the convergence of foodservice with convenience.
