The SPAR brand was founded in the Netherlands in 1932 by the Dutch wholesaler, Adriaan van Well and 16 independent retailers. It was established as a voluntary chain of grocers under the name DESPAR - an acronym of a slogan created by van Well to describe the organisation: Door Eendrachtig Samenwerken Profiteren Allen Regelmatig, which translates in English to ‘All benefit from joint co-operation’.

The Head Office and Distribution Centre are in Waalwijk, from where support is provided for stores operating throughout the country.
