Blakemore Retail expands home delivery offering with new website

SPAR store operator Blakemore Retail has launched a new online ordering website, expanding its home delivery service.

The new website is in addition to the Snappy Shopper platform and aims to help those who place regular home delivery orders from Blakemore Retail SPAR stores.


Customers will be able to order from a range of around 1,100 products across all categories, including fruit and vegetables, bread, meat, dairy, drinks, snacks, alcohol, tobacco and household goods.

They need to log in or register at www.afbspar.co.uk to place the order from their nearest store. Once their order has been placed, the store will give them a call, take payment over the phone and arrange a convenient delivery slot.

“In recent weeks, SPAR stores have played a key role in local communities delivering essential groceries to those most in need. We hope that this new platform improves our home delivery service by making it easier for customers to see what products we have available without leaving their homes,” said Matt Teague, managing director at Blakemore Retail.

The responsive website is easy to use on mobile, tablet and desktop devices.

The company said it is aiming for same-day delivery, but the demand could see orders being delivered next day. The platform hopes to serve all customers within two miles of participating stores, of which there are circa 80 across England and Wales.

There is a £3 delivery charge on orders. Key workers, NHS staff and vulnerable customers who are self-isolating willbe offered free delivery.

The retailer will continue to offer ordering over the phone.

A.F. Blakemore also recently teamed up with online ordering app Snappy Shopper to expand its home delivery service. This new online platform will not be used by stores registered on this app.
