Amrit Rebello, Spar UK brand manager, said: “One of the unexpected outcomes of the pandemic was the sharp increase in pet ownership and as a result we are delighted to launch a range of 10 SKUs for cats and dogs to meet the increased demand for pet food in our stores.

“We know that the pet category is a high value opportunity for Spar stores as the basket-spend of pet food shoppers is significantly more than non-pet product shoppers. The design of our new Spar N°1 range perfectly complements pet owners who see their pets as part of their family and are for many their number one priority.”
