SPAR Guangdong in China opened two new SPAR Hypermarkets around the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day at the beginning of October. Featuring an excellent product mix and environmentally conscious store design, both hypermarkets have introduced cutting-edge digital retail tools, including easy ordering and payment options. These products and services bring a fresh shopping experience to local shoppers. 

SPAR Huangpu Wanda Store
The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new SPAR Huangpu Wanda Store on 30 September marked SPAR Guangdong’s third store opening in Guangzhou after Nansha Huahui Store and Haizhu Wanda Store.

Located on the first floor of Wanda Plaza, the store has a business area of ​​5,000m2 and offers more than 20,000 SKUs. These include fresh vegetables and fruits, meat and seafood, ready-to-eat products, kitchen staples, frozen and chilled assortments, snacks, beverages, as well as non-food items such as household and travel goods.

SPAR Fenggang Jialehui Store
SPAR Fenggang Jialehui Store opened on 1 October and is the first SPAR store in Fenggang Town, Dongguan. The supermarket is located on the first and second floors of Jialehui Shopping Plaza.

The hypermarket boasts a business area of ​​3,000m2 and has about 20,000 SKUs. These include fresh seafood, cooked foods, frozen and chilled products, snacks, drinks, as well as various non-food categories such as household and toiletry products.

SPAR China CSR title
Also in October, SPAR China was awarded the prestigious title of Socially Responsible Company by trade and industry body ECR (Efficient Consumer Response) China. The title recognises SPAR China’s timely and efficient measures to safeguard health and safety as well as an adequate supply of goods during the coronavirus pandemic.

Throughout the pandemic, SPAR China partners have used their robust supply chains and logistical capabilities to pool resources and ensure the safe and smooth supply of products and essential services to the communities they serve. New systems were put in place to ensure prompt movement of goods, particularly from agricultural areas where producers had lost access to market.
