SPAR OPENS NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART STORE IN TON PENTRE

August 19, 2024

The eagerly awaited new SPAR store in Ton Pentre opened its doors on Thursday, 15 August, at 8:30 am. Located just across the road from the old site, the new store promises a state-of-the-art shopping experience, featuring a larger space of 200 square metres and an extended range of fresh and local produce. There is also the exciting addition of a Greggs.

Grand Opening Festivities

To celebrate the grand opening, the first 100 customers will receive goody bags containing a selection of great value products and household favourites. The official ribbon-cutting ceremony, led by Local Councillor Norman Howell Morgan, marked the beginning of a new era for SPAR Ton Pentre.

Fun and Prizes for All

From 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, visitors could play the "Spin to Win" wheel where they could walk away with a selection of prizes including shopping vouchers and in-store products. Face painting was also available to add a splash of fun for families from 9:00am-12:00pm.

A Bigger, Better Shopping Experience

The new SPAR Ton Pentre features a wide range of fresh food for now and food for later. The store also boasts a ‘Passion for Local’ by incorporating a range of Welsh products from local suppliers. With a modern and easy to shop layout, customers can shop a wider range of fresh produce, Country Bridge meat range, chilled wines and beers, as well as newspapers, magazines, confectionery, and the Lotto.

Store Manager, Matthew Jones, expressed excitement about the reopening: “The new store will support Ton Pentre and our surrounding towns with food for now and later, cupboard staples, last-minute ingredients, or emergency supplies—whatever you need, we've got it covered.

“We can’t wait to welcome everyone to our new look store and to our Greggs outlet too.”

Committed to the Community

He went on to say: “SPAR Ton Pentre is more than just a convenience store, it’s a hub for the community. The new store offers greater variety and choice for our locals, providing award-winning quality products, supporting local producers and offering exceptional value to customers.”

£1000 up for grabs

The new store opening offered locals the opportunity to win fantastic prizes by playing SPAR’s new fun Scan-Match-Win game. Customers can scan QR codes available in-store and play an online game for a chance to win monetary and product vouchers and even a grand prize of £1000. SPAR will be giving away £1000 every week until 28 August, so don’t miss out on the opportunity to become a SPAR Champion.

With a strong presence in Wales, SPAR continues to support local communities through tailored product ranges and active involvement in local charitable partnerships.
