CO-PROMOTION WITH REAL FOODS, EDINBURGH
WE’VE TRAVELLED A BIT IN THE LAST 50 YEARS In all the time we’ve been in business, shopping local has always been miles better and we’ve made the journey on your behalf for the wide range of produce we sell, so you don’t have to.
Since 1963 we’ve been sourcing from local suppliers to help keep your food miles down, freshness up, and your community thriving. We have supported many, now well-established, local producers from their early days, including Garvald Bakery, Cyrenians Farm and Engine Shed to name just a few.
• Local - supporting local businesses means food doesn’t have to travel so far to your shopping bags, so helping the environment on a global level too.
• Fresh - less food miles means more fresh food smiles.
See what we did there?
• Value - every week we have up to 140 products on price promotion, we offer a Student and Senior Citizen discount, or you can use one of our 10% Early Bird discount cards, so your shopping really doesn’t have to cost the earth.
Need we say anything more to state our case as your passport to fresh and seasonal Scottish produce, packed with goodness and at the right price.
