Dara Singh Randhawa

Spar North of England retailer Dara Singh Randhawa’s family store has been awarded £100,000 of free stock after hitting all his targets since moving to the group.

Dara and his family, of Spar Patrington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, joined the group through its association with James Hall & Co. Ltd in August 2023, having taken the decision to maximise the store’s potential.

It is a decision they have not looked back on, with sales increasing by up to 25% and margins also showing significant uplift in the last 12 months. Dara said: “Our move has been excellent. We’ve seen fantastic sales uplift and the support from the team at James Hall & Co. Ltd has been brilliant. The £100,000 of free stock is the cherry on the cake.”

Peter Dodding, sales director at James Hall & Co. Ltd and chairman of the Spar Northern Guild, said: “Congratulations to Dara and the Randhawa family on hitting their targets and earning £100,000 of free stock. We recognise switching brand is a big decision for a retailer which is why this isn’t a gimmick, and we offer this to all retailers who join the Spar family with us.

“We also offer retailers the chance to achieve up to an additional £5,000 of free stock if they successfully refer a friend.”
