SPAR outlets in the Republic are to be supplied with fresh produce by Donnelly Fruit & Veg Ltd in a deal worth €30 million, it was announced today.
SPAR Ireland, which has some 400 shops across the State, said the partnership would initially focus on stores in the Dublin area before extending elsewhere over the coming months.
SPAR's sales and marketing director Mr Alex Banahan said: "Extensive consumer research recently carried out by SPAR in Ireland suggested that the availability of fresh fruit and veg are top priorities for our customers."
