Manchester convenience store group partners with Costcutter

The group, which was previously with Simply Fresh, agreed terms and commenced trading with Costcutter earlier this month. The partnership will see Costcutter work alongside Mital to support the development of his business, as well as central and direct to store supply for the group’s stores, which include the General Store and Foodhall brands.

Plans are already underway to expand the partnership, with the potential for more sites to be brought on board, before the end of 2020 and into 2021.

SRG founder, Mital Morar, said: “I’m very pleased to be aligning my business with CSG. I’ve been particularly impressed with their partnership approach to business development and the wealth of expertise they can bring to our group. My team and I are excited for the future of our partnership and to already be working collaboratively on a number of new opportunities.”

Jamie Davison, CSG business development director, added: “SRG is a progressive and well-respected group and we are delighted to announce this new partnership. Partnering with Mital and his team is testament to our leading offer and levels of support which will enable SRG to respond to and thrive in today’s challenging market. We are looking forward to supporting them as they further develop and expand their unique retail offering.”
