Scottish Grocers Federation

🏪 SGF was delighted to visit Green’s of Dunblane to meet Chris Kane MP.

We discussed key challenges facing convenience retailers, including retail crime, the upcoming Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) and the rising cost of doing business.

Thanks to Chris and the team at Green’s!

New Scottish data shows the true extent of illicit trade of tobacco - impacting communities & retailers.

HMRC say £1.7bn lost to UK tax alone - & the scale of illegal vapes may be even more. We urgently need tougher penalties & resourced enforcement. itcostsmorethanyouthink.co.uk/scotland

Fantastic to be at the 2026 Scottish Grocer Awards last night, a lovely evening & lively entertainment. Congrats to all the finalists & winners, showing the best of what the sector has to offer - especially Linda & Dennis Williams (special recognition award). Well done all 🏆 🎉
