SPAR Scotland’s partner CJ Lang & Son is offering new click-and-collect service to provide more convenience to its trade customers amid coronavirus pandemic.

CJ Lang & Son 16,700m2 distribution centre in Dundee is providing the service with certain chilled range throughout the week.

Trade customers can avail the service through its website before 2:30pm and collect them by 6pm on the same day.

Orders made after the specified time can be collected the following day.

CJ Lang & Son CEO Colin McLean said: “During the pandemic, we have been in a fortunate position to be able to continue supplying our independent SPAR retailers with what they needed to provide communities with essential items on a daily basis.

“Our distribution team has been doing a phenomenal job and 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.”

SPAR Scotland is planning to enhance its click-and-collect service offering with more products in the coming weeks.

In May, SPAR Scotland announced plans to roll-out the Snappy Shopper service further. Snappy Shopper is a Home Delivery platform

Last month, Spar China expanded operation in the country, with six new supermarkets between 13 March and 1 May in the provinces of Guangdong, Beijing and Shandong.
