SPAR Italy, known locally as DESPAR Italia, was first granted the SPAR brand licence in 1959. The first store opened in 1960, making SPAR the first partnership of retailers and wholesalers to operate in the country. In addition, SPAR Italy grants sub-licenses to regional partners, all of whom work together to grow the brand across the country. As a limited liability consortium, DESPAR Italia aims to provide itself with a corporate structure with a more efficient and flexible organisational structure. The central office places a strong emphasis on own brand product sourcing, supplementing the buying power of the consortium in the market.
