Committed to Promoting Locally-Grown Produce

Robinson’s says it will continue to expand its range of locally produced food across its stores.

Chairman John Horsthuis and MD Janna Horsthuis have both reacted to the sale of Shoprite to Tesco.

John said: ‘Our foremost concern is ensuring that our affected staff members are well taken care of, alongside our local suppliers. On a personal note, our family has shared a special bond with the Shoprite family for nearly half a century. Rest assured; we have consistently strived to serve the best interests of the island.’

Janna added: ‘Our commitment to promoting locally-grown produce for the island’s residents remains unwavering. We firmly believe that supporting the Manx economy is paramount, benefiting numerous local businesses in addition to our own.

‘To that end, we will continue to expand our offerings of Manx produce through our stores, and by home delivery and click-and-collect services, ensuring that more locally-sourced food finds its way to homes across the Isle of Man.’
