On Tuesday 3rd November 2015, suppliers from across the grocery trade met at the Wembley Hilton to celebrate the opening of the Dhamecha’s 8th cash and carry.
For the first time in its 40 year history, the London-based cash and carry operation – the largest member of the Today’s Group - is opening a branch outside the capital.
The new 80,000sq ft. depot – in Leicester –opened its doors for business on Friday 6th November.
The first Dhamecha Cash and Carry – in Wembley – opened in 1976 and the company now operates 7 branches in and around the M25 – with a customer base of over 10,000 independent grocery convenience stores. The Group has a turnover of £700m.
Speaking at the celebration, Chief Executive, Pradip Dhamecha said, “Over the years we have built our business on the principles of first-class relationships with our customers, our suppliers and our staff... Opening a cash and carry outside of London is bold step for us and it’s fair to say that everyone connected with the Dhamecha Group is very excited about the new venture”.
