By Éilis Cronin in Food-To-Go 13th November 2020

Spar is expanding its food-to-go offering for its company-owned stores across Scotland, as part of a “significant investment” by wholesaler CJ Lang & Son.

The expansion will see company-owned Spar stores around the country offering a “fantastic food-to-go service by the end of March 2021”, including CJ Lang & Son’s food-to-go brand alongside other food-to-go brands such as Rollover Hotdogs, Costa Coffee, F’real Milkshakes, Skwishee frozen drinks, and Tango Blast.

The roll-out will also include a hot breakfast and lunch offer with support from local bakers Ashers, Browning’s the Bakers, JG Ross, McGhee’s, and Stuarts for a range of cakes, sweet treats, and hot savouries too.

Stephen Brown, head of food-to-go at C J Lang & Son, said: “We have very ambitious plans to grow food-to-go within our Spar estate in Scotland.

“It is one of the fastest growing sectors of the eating out market and as a forward-thinking convenience retailer we are making a huge investment to ensure we are at the forefront of this sector.”
