The Spar N°1 pet food range is being launched by the brand as a private label lineup of products for owners to pick up when seeking out a premium option for their furry friend that doesn't come with a high price tag. The product lineup includes a number of options for cat and dog owners, which come individually as well as in multipacks to suit shopper preferences. The products are being rolled out by the brand at its locations in the UK.
Spar UK Brand Manager Amrit Rebello commented on the launch of the Spar N°1 pet food range saying, "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 lines 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."
