Talking Retail Grocery and product news for independent retailers
The wholesaler will provide the service seven days a week from its 180,000sq ft distribution centre in Dundee. Trade customers will be able to place orders via its website before 1430 hours and collect them by 1800 hours the same day. Orders received after 1430 hours will be available for collection the next day.
Colin McLean, chief executive at CJ Lang & Son, said: “Our distribution team has been doing a phenomenal job and also provided a number of retail businesses outside of the Spar network with product over the past 12 weeks. As a result we felt we could expand on this service and provide not only our existing independent Spar retailers with a click-and-collect service, but also allow other retail trade customers the opportunity to order and collect from our depot in Dundee.
“We are doing all we can to support independent retailing in Scotland and as we work with a growing number of Scottish, UK and international suppliers, we have the ability to offer retail businesses an extensive product range.”
The click-and-collect service has been in operation since 10 June and due to its ongoing success, CJ Lang is looking to add more products over the next few weeks.
