The ribbon has been cut to officially open James Hall & Co. Ltd’s latest company-owned SPAR store at Netherfield Road in Nelson.

Key features of the 2,700 sq ft SPAR store include refreshment options in the form of Cheeky Coffee and Tango Ice Blast machines, as well as a hot Food To Go unit, enabling passing trade to take advantage of breakfast and lunchtime deals.

James Hall & Co. Ltd brands are prominent in-store, and there is a strong Clayton Park Bakery offer and the full range of Fazilas products to better support the demands of the local community.

Extensive areas dedicated to soft drinks and chilled beers are also major store features, and these are complemented by a comprehensive convenience offer of big-name brands at low prices.

Locals queued up in their numbers on the opening day to get their tea for free as well as enjoy a free Cheeky Coffee and tasters of Clayton Park Bakery and Fazilas products.

The Mayor of Pendle Cllr Brian Newman took hold of the SPAR scissors to cut the ribbon and declare the store open, and he was joined at the opening by Chairman of James Hall & Co. Ltd, Ian Hall, and Company Stores Director, Fiona Drummond.

A Family Fun Day supported the opening where the local community was welcomed into store and had the opportunity to play Spin To Win free SPAR products.

David and Anne Brown live across the road from the store. They said: “We really like the layout, and the prices are excellent. It is fantastic to have the store open again, and it is very convenient for us.

“If we can support local then we will do. Everybody knows the staff, and we were welcomed with a smile. I think the hot food will do really well, and the range of convenience meals that are stocked will be popular too.”

Ian and Lesley Moore, who live nearby, added: “We came along while walking the dogs for a general feel for the store and we are pleased to have a SPAR on the doorstep.

“The layout is great, and it is a bright and airy store with a good range. We have been driving past every day seeing the progress in anticipation of the opening, so it is great that the day has arrived.”

Fiona Drummond said: “We are very pleased to welcome Netherfield Road into the SPAR family. The store looks brilliant, and we were delighted to have the support of the Mayor of Pendle to officially open it.

“The atmosphere on the opening day was hugely positive. It was lovely speaking to customers who are excited and genuinely appreciative to have a first-class convenience offer in their neighbourhood.”

James Hall & Co. Ltd is a fifth-generation family business which serves a network of independent SPAR retailers and company-owned SPAR stores across Northern England six days a week from its base at Bowland View in Preston.
