In addition to the £2,000 from Rollover, Spar Scotland matched the donation with a further £2,000 for the cancer charity.
Stephen Brown, head of food-to-go at Spar Scotland, said: “It was great to partner with Rollover on this campaign to help our national charity partner Marie Curie.
“By working together, we were able to boost sales while raising vital funds for Marie Curie.”
David Dewhurst, regional manager for Scotland at Rollover, said: “A big thank-you to all our customers who supported us by buying our hot dogs and to Spar Scotland for partnering with us and for match-funding the donation.”
Christine Connor, corporate partnerships and philanthropy manager at Marie Curie, said: “We were delighted to learn that Rollover had approached Spar Scotland in December to support Marie Curie.
“I am so pleased that increased sales helped to raise £4,000 in such a customer-friendly and tasty way.”
The Spar Scotland team at the Dundee depot also did some extra fundraising over the Christmas period and raised £600 from the staff Christmas raffle.
Spar UK has raised £2m for Marie Curie since the national charity partnership began in 2017, the equivalent of 100,000 hours of care from a Marie Curie Nurse.
