Locals welcome SPAR Dolgellau back to their high street following major regeneration

A postcard to say we’re back: To celebrate SPAR invited the first 100 people in store to send a personalised postcard from Dolgellau.

Popular SPAR and Post Office in Dolgellau reopened yesterday (July 25). Local staff, customers and the fire service gathered to celebrate this important moment. The first 100 customers were handed a free goody bag packed with customer favourites.

Carole Williams a SPAR store colleague of 26 years and is local to the Dolgellau community had the honour of reopening the store.

To mark the reopening SPAR teamed up with Dolgellau photographer Helen Iles to create postcards for the first 100 customers

Helen was in attendance to hand out some of her beautiful postcards, showcasing the stunning local landscapes. The postcards were posted by those who visited the opening, creating lasting memories from SPAR Dolgellau.

The local fire service were also in attendance so the store staff could thank them for the support they have provided.

A local customer who attended said “The town has missed this store we are so glad it is open again, it is mega”.

The Plas yn Dre Street store opened at 8.30am, among those to attend were local business owners, loyal shoppers and children, with the event creating a buzz on Dolgellau’s high street.

The new store stocks all your everyday household essentials as well as a selection of chilled wines and beers. The modern site has been tailored to meet the needs of the local community providing fresh food for now and food for later, and with a Passion for Local also incorporates a range of Welsh product featuring suppliers from the North and West of Wales.

The new Post Office will provide everyday banking, travel money, postal services and online returns.

SPAR Dolgellau store manager, Anna Stone, said: “It is so wonderful to be back open again and to see so many of our customers this morning. Our stores are in the heart of our communities, we know our neighbours personally. We know them, because we are them. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to our store.

“At SPAR We’re united by a passion to serve local customers, provide great quality food and deliver outstanding service.”

The reopening offered locals who attended the chance to win great prizes, by playing SPAR’s new fun Scratch-Match-Win game. Customers scanned the QR codes available in store to play the online game, prizes included monetary or product vouchers.

For anyone that missed the opening, SPAR will be giving away £1000 every week up until the 28th August, customers are invited to head into store to play.
