Shoprite has confirmed a supply deal with supermarket giant Sainsbury’s.

Island stores will begin stocking about 3,000 Sainsbury’s own brand products from January next year.

They will replace the Waitrose and Iceland range of products.

Shoprite said it was ’excited’ to announce the new long-term supply agreement with Sainsbury’s.

It said in a statement: ’Sainsbury’s will provide us with a wide selection of around 3,000 quality own brand products and a significantly enhanced range that our loyal customers won’t be able to find anywhere else on the island.

’We will begin stocking this range during January 2020 which will replace Waitrose and Iceland who have served our customers and our business well for over 20 years.’

The own brand Sainsbury’s products to be stocked include the So Organic, Deliciously Free and Taste the Difference ranges.
