Store formats

The SPAR Express brand is our format designed for high footfall transit locations such as petrol stations, airports, bus & railway stations and city centres. With a sales area of between 100 and 300m², SPAR Express format is ideal for smaller sized retail locations, allowing for extended opening hours.

The SPAR Express brand format assortment is focused towards the convenience shopper looking for food on the go or to top up their weekly shop from the larger supermarkets. The SPAR Express format provides shoppers with everything they need when they need it.

The SPAR brand format is the original store concept and is the cornerstone of the SPAR voluntary food retail network. It is designed for local neighbourhoods in both urban and rural areas and provides shoppers with everything they need on a daily basis.

With a sales area of 200 to 1,000m², the flexibility of this format makes it suitable for all retail markets. The majority of SPAR branded stores are independently owned and operated and thus have an important place in the heart of the community.

The EUROSPAR brand format is our larger supermarket format and is aimed at weekly family shopping needs. EUROSPAR branded supermarkets have a retail sales area of between 1,000 and 3,000m² and are found in shopping malls, as stand-alone supermarkets or in city centres where space permits a large supermarket.

The larger sales floor allows for a full service assortment that is both large and varied in fresh foods, groceries and non-foods, but can also include a strong Food-to-Go offer. The wide choice and parking facilities makes the EUROSPAR brand the preferred choice for the weekend shopping trip. In Africa, these stores are known as SUPERSPAR supermarkets.

The INTERSPAR Hypermarket brand is the largest of our retail formats, with a sales area in excess of 3,000m². It is focused on being a one-stop shop with the largest selection in both food and non-food items.

The format can be adapted to suit standalone, purpose built sites as well as large shopping centres where the INTERSPAR Hypermarket can play a standout role in attracting shoppers. The format is increasing in scale in Europe, China and India.
