James Hall & Co. Ltd celebrated the reopening of the G&E Murgatroyd company-owned Spar with the community in Moorclose on Wednesday this week.
Eager locals queued up to catch a first glimpse of their new look community store, which now has the bonus of an integrated Post Office after it moved location inside the Spar during the refurbishment.
The store is unrecognisable from the one that closed on 15 September, and new features include a Cheeky Coffee machine and a hot Food To Go counter. Inside there has also been a complete replacement of fixtures and fittings, including new lower shelving enabling customers to see across the store, and brighter lit modern refrigeration.
The first 50 customers were given Tonight’s Tea for Free, and also had a change to indulge in a sweet treat with a slice of Post Office cake celebrating its relocation.
A family fun day will also take place at the Spar on Saturday 5 October, where customers can win prizes, children can have their faces painted and enjoy having their photos taken with the Spar mascot.
Fiona Drummond, company stores director at James Hall & Co., Spar UK’s primary retailer, wholesaler, and distributor for the North of England, said: “I’m thrilled with the changes we’ve made to the store. It’s been a long time since we invested in it and now the community have a 21st Century Spar they can be proud to shop at.”
