The attractive CENSA branding and marketing, created as an integral part of this concept, celebrate the different daily coffee moments we all experience. Customers can embrace these moments whilst enjoying the great coffee and delicious baked goods either in the seating area of the instore café or on the go.
The flagship EUROSPAR Supermarket, which is the anchor tenant in Smolenskaya Shopping Passage, has a retail sales area of 1,290m2. There is a rich assortment of over 15,000 products covering fresh, ultra-fresh, and dry groceries. Within the broad range of fresh choices available, customers can enjoy a wide selection of ready-made meals prepared instore. Shoppers can also sample cakes developed by a local pastry chef or choose from a selection of freshly made sandwiches, paninis or croissants.
The investment of €75,000 in this CENSA café strengthens the store’s convenience offering, driving both footfall and value in this vital category. Working in collaboration with SPAR International on the CENSA concept, SPAR in Moscow capitalised on the global company’s preferred suppliers which included equipment, branding, marketing campaigns, and barista training.
