The James & Hall’s sandwich and wrap business was launched in 2009 and has since distributed thousands of its products to SPAR stores across the North of England.
Along with a specially wrapped sandwich, the SPAR at Lancaster University hosted an event to celebrate the occasion. Free sandwiches were handed out to customers at the store, which sells the highest volume of sandwiches in the James Hall & Co. Ltd G&E Murgatroyd company-owned store division.
“We are proud to reach this fantastic milestone. Sandwiches are the bread and butter of our food manufacturing business, and it is a huge achievement for the department who make a strong range of delicious, high-quality products to scale day in and day out,” commented Andrew Barnes, trading director at James Hall & Co. Ltd.
“Sandwiches and wraps form an integral part of our retail offer in both our company-owned SPAR stores and with our independent retailers, with the meal deal being a hugely popular mechanism for SPAR North of England customers who want a great value and flavourful lunch.”
The company is expected to hit another milestone next month, with March anticipated to see James & Hall’s 1p charity sandwich sale pledge reach £750k since its inception 13 years ago.
This initiative is supported by Marie Curie, which is also SPAR UK’s national charity partner, and has been the beneficiary of the sandwich pledge since 2016.
