A.F. Blakemore has expanded its partnership with Snappy Shopper, with more than 70 additional Spar stores launched on the delivery platform.
The rollout, which took place during August and September, increased A.F. Blakemore’s Snappy Shopper estate from 95 stores to 167.
Around 40 of the new stores are located in areas where Snappy Shopper does not currently have another retail partner, bringing the service to new communities and expanding the platform’s geographic reach.
More than 95,000 orders were generated across A.F. Blakemore’s Spar estate in the 12 months to 31 July 2026, alongside an average order value of £30.30. Snappy Shopper reported that new customer acquisition also increased by 20% year on year.
Greg Deacon, VP Retail Groups at Snappy Shopper, said: “This is a significant expansion of our partnership with A.F. Blakemore and a great opportunity to bring rapid delivery to even more Spar customers.
“Adding around 70 stores considerably increases the scale of the existing partnership, while also taking Snappy Shopper into around 40 areas where we do not currently have a retail partner. That means more communities will be able to access convenient, rapid delivery from their local Spar.
“We’re looking forward to supporting A.F. Blakemore throughout the rollout and continuing to grow the partnership together.”
CJ Antal-Smith, chief commercial officer at AF Blakemore & Sons ltd, added: “Our focus is on making shopping with Spar as convenient and accessible as possible for the communities we serve.
“Expanding Spar Delivered across more of our estate gives more customers the choice to shop with their local Spar online, while enabling more of our stores to benefit from the continued growth of rapid grocery delivery.
“We’re pleased to be building on our partnership with Snappy Shopper through this latest expansion.”
