The Spar wholesaler plans to add six more stores by the end of September, taking the total to 28 sites
Appleby Westward has more than tripled the size of its Wessex Retail subdivision in under two years.
The Spar wholesaler currently has 22 stores trading under the subsidiary, after starting off with just seven in December 2019.
It plans to add six more stores by the end of September, taking Wessex Retail to 28 sites.
The stores have so far been secured from Co-op disposals, along with other fascia group stores such as Premier and Londis.
They stretch across Penzance, Portsmouth and Bristol, and now trade under a Spar fascia.
