Our Top Store award winner this time last year was Asda in Maryhill, Glasgow.

Manager Pauline Smith said most of the colleagues had grown up in the area, so they already knew the customers.

One year on, Smith has left the 43,000 sq ft store to be manager of a store in Blantyre. Vance Haddow has taken over at Maryhill and has big plans for this year.

"We're looking to increase our footfall but also improve the level of customer service that shoppers receive when they enter the store," he said.

"The past couple of months have been successful for the store and we were £45,000 up on our sales plan for February, which is growth we want to maintain."
