Find out everything you need to know on our visit here.

Last Friday, the Procuria team had the pleasure of visiting the Sheffield Parfetts depot to connect with business owners and discuss how our buying group can support them. It was an exciting opportunity to engage with retailers, understand their challenges, and showcase the benefits of joining Procuria.

A Warm Welcome at Parfetts Sheffield

From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere at the Parfetts depot was buzzing with energy. Retailers were busy stocking up on essentials, taking advantage of special offers, and networking with fellow business owners. The Parfetts team was incredibly welcoming, and their commitment to supporting independent retailers was evident throughout our visit.

Showcasing Food-to-Go Solutions

For this visit, we also brought along food-to-go suppliers Rollover and Blue Ice Machines, giving retailers the chance to try their products firsthand. These innovative solutions provide excellent opportunities for store owners to diversify their offerings and attract more customers with high-quality hot food and refreshing frozen beverages. The feedback was fantastic, with many retailers expressing interest in adding these products to their stores.

Listening to Retailers' Needs

One of the key objectives of our visit was to hear directly from retailers about the challenges they face in today’s market. Many store owners expressed concerns about rising costs, supply chain disruptions, and the need for competitive pricing to stay ahead of larger supermarket chains. These conversations reinforced the importance of Procuria’s mission, to leverage group buying power and provide independent retailers with better deals on essential stock.

The Benefits of Procuria

During our discussions, we highlighted how Procuria is a free-to-join buying group designed specifically for independent convenience stores. By joining, retailers can access exclusive deals, negotiated discounts, and supplier partnerships that help reduce costs and improve profitability. The response from retailers was overwhelmingly positive, with many signing up on the spot to start benefiting from our offers.

Building Stronger Connections

Beyond business discussions, the visit allowed us to build stronger relationships with Parfetts reps and store owners, to understand their unique needs. We also had the chance to learn more about the Sheffield retail landscape, gaining insights that will help us tailor our support and resources even further.
