Bestway expands its market-leading retail range

Bestway expands its market-leading retail range

In support of retail customers, Bestway Wholesale, the UK’s largest independent food and drink wholesaler, has announced the expansion of its retail range across its depot network, adding hundreds of new and best-selling products to meet retailer customers’ needs.

Bestway has launched its new convenience range across all its delivered network and continues to focus on listing regional lines for its depots as part of its strategy to respond to retailers’ local community demands through localised depots. It has added more than 1,500 additional listings across depots to meet its convenience retailer customer’s requirements, and enhanced its online customer journey to ensure all delivered retailers have access to the full range available from their local depot which will improve availability and help retailers to drive sales.


Bestway Wholesale’s Managing Director, Dawood Pervez, commented, “We’ve listened to our customers - and we’ve responded. We are enormously excited to be announcing this expansion of our retail and convenience range across our depot network as we know it’s exactly what our customers are looking for – a broader range giving greater choice with a more diverse and pertinent line up of products.

“By increasing our range, we aim to be a one-stop shopping destination for our retail customers offering them a wide variety of products across different categories. At a time when they need it the most.

“We have also been reviewing our award-winning Best-one’ own label range which is widely respected for its quality and the gap it fills in the marketplace and will be making announcements soon in this respect, giving further opportunity to our retailers against consumer demand.”

Bestway Wholesale has also improved its support for retailers on these new ranges including a brand-new planogram service to support them every step of the way.

Kenton Burchell, Group Trading Director at Bestway Wholesale, added, “The essence of convenience retail lies in accessibility. By adding more ranges within our depots not only gives our customers more options to choose from but it also means that they don’t need to shop anywhere else and can get everything they need under one roof, enhancing their overall shopping experience.”
