Lunchtimes have just got three times better with the launch of a trio of festive filling sandwiches in SPAR stores across the North of England.
This year’s Festive Feast sandwich includes delicious turkey, smoked bacon, cranberry sauce, onion and herb stuffing on malted wheat grain bread. What’s more, the Festive Feast sandwich will include a 10p donation to Marie Curie for each sandwich sold.
Joining the Festive Feast in the Christmas line-up is the Cheese and Xmas Chutney sandwich featuring lovely Lancashire Cheese with Hawkshead Relish cranberry, orange and ginger chutney, and soft cream cheese.
The fish option this festive season is a Prawn and Salmon sandwich, with fresh North Atlantic prawns and poached smoked salmon with a spicy cocktail sauce and salad leaves on oatmeal bread.
Also on offer in local stores is the classic free-range egg mayonnaise on malted wheat grain bread, this year made even better by the return of SPAR's popular design competition.
Running until January 2, 2024, SPAR customers have the chance to design the pack of the SPAR brand Egg Mayonnaise sandwich sold in SPAR stores across the North of England.
Celebrating SPAR's partnership with the end-of-life charity, Marie Curie’s signature yellow will need to be included in the design, but customers are being given ‘free range’ on the rest of the design with their creativity and imagination. The winning design will feature on the packaging of SPAR’s Egg Mayonnaise sandwiches for six months, as well as be presented with a BMX scooter.
During the period when the winning sandwich designs will be seen on shelves next spring, every SPAR Egg Mayonnaise sandwich sold in a SPAR store owned or serviced by James Hall & Co. Ltd will contribute 5p to Marie
