SPAR Supports Independent Retailers in North of England

SPAR UK wholesaler James Hall & Co. is supporting independent retailers in northern England.

The company is helping local SPAR stores expand, modernise, and update their in-store ranges. These efforts are featured in the latest issue of Contact International, the group’s official magazine.

The support includes retail development, store design improvements, and offer upgrades. It reflects SPAR’s long-standing use of the independent model, which has powered its growth for more than 90 years.

SPAR International’s Contact International is a quarterly magazine published in four languages. It reports on retail operations, development projects, and market activity from across the SPAR network.

SPAR Supports Independent Retailers through direct partnerships and region-led programmes.

The full feature is available in Issue 2–2025 of Contact International.
