Multi-format food retailer Spencer’s Retail, part of the Rs 135 billion RPG Group, has emerged victorious at the Coca-Cola Golden Spoon Award in the most admired food and grocery retailer for convenience and express formats category . The awards were held under the umbrella of second edition of Food Forum India in Mumbai. The other nominees in the category were In & Out, More, Reliance Fresh, KB’s Fair Price and Le Millennia Supermart.
On receiving the award, Vineet Kapila, president, Spencer’s Retail, said, “Food and grocery has been our primary focus since the very beginning and our understanding of the taste and flavours of various communities across the country has given us the competitive edge over other retailers in India.”
