In December 2023, SPAR Albania continued the growth of its store network, opening the 81st SPAR store which is located in the city of Lezha.

The new SPAR Supermarket opened its doors in early December in the city centre of Lezhna, on Faik Konica street. This first SPAR store in the city has a total sales area of 1,000m², with over 10,000 products available for customers across different product categories. The store aims to closely meet the needs of customers through this wide product offer. Customers can choose from an extensive fresh offer, including fruit, vegetables, and butchery departments. A wide range of food and non-food items are available, making the store a one-stop-shop for customers grocery needs.

SPAR customers in Lezhë will also be able to take advantage of the Happy Card loyalty program that rewards them with dedicated offers as well as shopping vouchers at SPAR.

There was a festive feeling during the first few days of opening at the store. Different celebratory activities, such as gifts for the first 250 customers, opening special offers, as well as other surprises underpinned the opening.

Growth nationwide
