SPAR Dash is Powered by Snappy Shopper

The SPAR Dash home delivery platform has been debuted as a shopping option for customers local to its stores as a way to expedite access to stock.

The platform is powered by Snappy Shopper and offers access to thousands of essentials like fresh foods, meal solutions and more. The platform works seamlessly as a dedicated way to access items or a supplemental tool for ordering items that are needed immediately outside of a weekly shop. Shoppers can also access the brand's hot beverage and hot food to prioritize an even greater sense of convenience, while also helping the brand to tap into meal delivery scenarios.

Chief Executive Colin McLean commented on the SPAR Dash home delivery platform saying, "Spar Dash represents an exciting new chapter for Spar Scotland. Our customers increasingly expect convenience that fits around their busy lifestyles, and this platform allows us to deliver exactly that while continuing to support our local communities through our company owned stores and our independent retailers."
