Retailers

Newspapers are widely acknowledged as being one of the most important footfall drivers in the retail grocery trade. The habitual purchase nature brings in regular shoppers on a daily basis leading to sales of additional products. As a result the newspaper category carries an importance over and above the basic retail value of its sales.

As the exclusive wholesaler for the majority of leading daily, Sunday and provincial newspapers in Ireland, Newspread is an essential partner for any retailer wishing to provide a newsagency offering to its customers. In addition, a good range of market leading magazines is essential to any newsagency business and as the exclusive wholesaler for most of the leading Irish magazines, Newspread is perfectly positioned to provide you with the range of market leading titles your business needs.

With Ireland’s most comprehensive distribution network, delivering to over 6,000 retailers nationwide every day, our focus is on providing the quality of service to enable you to optimise the performance of this most important category within your store.
