Subway thrives with Gillett’s Callington Subway is celebrating its burgeoning relationship with Gillett’s Cal- lington, which operates 69 stores across Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Wiltshire and Somerset that trade under the Spar banner. There are currently nine Subway stores located within Gillett’s Callington Spar stores, with further stores planned, as the duo look to expand on what is proving to be a winning partnership. New stores are in development in Gillett’s Spar stores in Pinhoe, Exeter and Bugle, near St Austell, with further outlets planned later this year for Wool and Wareham in Dorset. Gillett’s Callington has been a Subway partner since its first stores opened in Bridport and Plymouth North Hill in 2012. Since then a further seven stores have been added, serving up a variety of subs, flatbreads and salads to hungry shoppers and local residents. Kevin Graham, regional development agent for Subway, said: “Gillett’s Callington is a valued partner for Subway in the South West and we are delighted with its ongoing commitment and plans to add additional stores. We look forward to working together to open many more stores in the future.” Oohmagazine.co.uk | @OOHmagazine 7 7 News News Insta-grabs Where have we been this month?
