Former Spar retailer Westlands Sohals has boosted weekly sales at its Droitwich store by 22% after switching to Select & Save.

Since joining the symbol group almost a year ago, chilled and frozen margins have also risen, by 12% and 20% respectively.

Both sales and profit results were achieved by July, the symbol group added.

Select & Save said its proposition had brought the retailer better availability, stronger promotions, tailored ranges to local customers, and a clearer store layout.

The symbol group announced in February 2025 that it had changed its supply deal from Bestway to Booker in a new five-year agreement.

It gave Select & Save retailers access to deliveries via the Booker Retail Partners model and its cash & carry depots.

It also meant retailers could take advantage of Booker’s 1,600 fresh and chilled lines, an extensive frozen category, and its Euroshopper and Jack’s own-label brands, with a minimum 30% margin across the range.

Retailers will also have access to Booker’s rapid delivery and online ordering platform Scoot, which announced in February it had signed up 300 retailers as it celebrated its first anniversary. Westland Sohals has also launched on the platform.
