Since this heightened security protocol began in March, the SPAR Spain partner has used more than 4,000 litres of disinfectant across its facilities, especially in high-traffic areas. Both store and distribution centre team members follow strict sanitary instructions and make use of face masks, nitrile and vinyl gloves, goggles, and protective visors.
A specialised company carries out a daily three-hour disinfection in logistics centres. Every night, the 3,400m² of refrigerated warehouses, packing areas, and six truck loading docks at Mercalaspalmas are disinfected as well. Additionally, office areas, employee locker rooms, restrooms, hallways, and buttons throughout the facility are also treated.
Every Saturday, the contracted company also carries out a nebulization procedure, a more extreme viricidal disinfecting technique.
Right from the beginning of the corona outbreak, protective screens have been installed at cashier lines to safeguard the well-being of team members and customers.
SPAR Gran Canaria has distributed alcohol-based cleaning materials among all stores to disinfect surfaces of frequent use such as counters, food preparation areas, baskets and shopping carts, as well as loading areas and offices.

About SPAR Spain
SPAR Spain was founded in 1959 as a result of the coming together of a group of wholesalers who wished to be part of an international organisation. The brand became the first voluntary trading chain to be established in Spain.
The head office is located in Barcelona, providing buying, marketing, communication and brand support to the 13 regional partners, continuing the expansion of the brand across the country.
