We launched our sandwich business in 2009. Today, we produce an extensive range of high quality sandwiches and wraps, supplying over 100,000 sandwiches per week to over 600 stores. Our sandwiches are produced to order and delivered daily.

Clayton Park Bakery

In January 2011, we acquired Clayton Park, an award winning bakery based in Accrington.

The SALSA accredited bakery produces over 27 million products a year and demand has led to the need for expansion into a second factory, which now bakes bread and cakes.

As well as providing a wide range of products for our SPAR stores, Clayton Park also supply pies to football clubs in all four English leagues in the North West including Liverpool, Everton, Oldham Athletic, Rochdale, Preston North End and Accrington Stanley.
