“Pop up” shop opportunities available in Tesco NI stores for Food NI artisan companies

With local fayre increasingly important to shoppers, Tesco NI wants to continue to support the local best artisan innovation.

Tesco NI can offer Food NI artisans “pop-up shop” opportunities in their foyers. This “pop-up” shop opportunity could help you get your products in front of Tesco shoppers – both to collect research and also to sell, plus hopefully, on the shelves should you wish to and are ready to go down that path.

“Tesco NI has been an invaluable partner in helping my PEPPUP sauces reach people who love good food. It’s been such a valuable test marketing platform for smaller producers like me,” Luca Montorio said.

To be able to give a helping hand to the next generation of local food and drink businesses is something that lies at the heart of Tesco Northern Ireland’s ongoing commitment to the region’s food and drink industry.

There is no fee to participate in this scheme. It simply involves you manning your own stand/table in a Tesco NI foyer, sampling/selling/conducting research on your products as suits your own objectives.

If you would like to enquire about participating in the Tesco “pop-up” shop opportunity, please email caoimhe.mannion@uk.tesco.com enclosing your accreditation documents (minimum requirement is SALSA please).
