Following the news earlier in the week that Tesco are to take over Shoprite stores there has been much concern over the impact it will have on local producers and businesses.
The local retailer, wholesaler and Manx produce supplier had a long established relationship with Shoprite.
John Horsthuis, Chairman of Robinson's has said: “We have consistently strived to serve the best interests of the island”.
The recent announcement has prompted Robinson's to focus its efforts on ensuring the well-being of its dedicated employees within Shoprite stores and the local suppliers impacted by this transition.
Managing Director Janna Horsthuis added: "This transition signifies a substantial change for our family-run business, given our enduring partnership with Shoprite spanning over 50 years.
“Nevertheless, 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 through our delivery and click-and-collect services. It’s our hope that more locally-sourced food finds its way to homes, restaurants, cafes, and government catering sites across the Isle of Man.”
