Symbol group Spar has announced its new food-to-go product range as its sandwich sale donations hit £250,000 for end-of-life care charity, Marie Curie.
The new products include four sandwiches made by the Great Northern Sandwich Company of James Hall & Co, Spar UK’s primary wholesale and distributor for the north of England, where the new flavours will be available.
Including Chicken Club, Honey and Mustard Chicken, Cheese and Carrot Chutney and Seafood Cocktail, the updated line will also see the addition of three new wraps with flavours such as Cajun Chicken and Onion Bhaji.
To add to its milestone sale donations, for each sandwich or wrap sold in a northern England Spar store, 1p will be donated to its principal charity partner, Marie Curie.
Of the new food-to-go range, any Spar branded products will also feature updated packaging with new designs and colours.
