CJ Lang & Son, the wholesaler for SPAR stores in Scotland, has launched a click & collect service aimed at providing trade customers with a full ambient and selected chilled range.
Operating from its 180,000 sq. ft. distribution centre in Dundee, the wholesaler will provide the service seven days a week, where trade customers place orders via its website before 1430 hours and collect them by 1800 hours the same day.
CJ Lang boss 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 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 & 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 service has been in operation since 10 June and, due to its ongoing success, CJ Lang plans to add more products over the coming weeks.
