Popular SPAR Market Store in Llandaff will open its doors this week following a £500k refurbishment.
The SPAR Market store will be opened by local Paralympic legend Aled Sion Davies on May 3rd from 8:15am until 10:15am as part of the groups’ Disability Sport Wales partnership. Aled will be joined by children from Llandaff Primary School.
The redevelopment will host a new concept Philpotts sandwich concession selling meticulously crafted sandwiches and salads made from quality ingredients. A little taste of the Philpotts legacy for the first time in Cardiff. As well a new County Bridge Kitchen section for your go-to evening meals. The new-look store is the perfect pitstop to grab a treat, lunch or dinner to go.
Customers will also be able to enjoy freshly ground, ethically traded and deliciously roasted Philpotts coffee.
The new flagship store has County Bridge Kitchen, which is prepared on site for shoppers to cook at home later. This will be an extension of the existing County Bridge meat range, affordable delicious food for later.
The store will be teaming up with producers from across Wales and local to Llandaff, from Wrexham Lager, Samosa & Co to Lodge Farm Kitchen meals and Welsh Lady Jams.
This will also be the first fully digital SPAR store in Wales – committing to reducing cardboard by using screens and tech throughout.
