SPAR International granted SPAR South Africa the licence for Seychelles in 2015. The SPAR Group sought a partner to launch and develop the brand in this new, albeit limited market and supported the development of the first store on Eden Island.

Housed in a modern and stylish shopping complex, the supermarket is the first SPAR store and the first internationally branded supermarket in Seychelles – offering a new level of retail excellence to the country.

Highlights 2019

Operating under sub-licence from the SPAR South Africa, the SPAR Supermarket in Eden Island has been popular among local customers and tourists since opening its doors in 2015.

During 2019, the store’s retail footprint was expanded to 992m2, creating more capacity for its strong focus on fresh products. The instore bakery and butchery complement the food-to-go offering. The investment in expansion paid off with retail sales of €6.5 million recorded for 2019, an increase of 18.9% over the previous year.
