SPAR is continuing to expand its store network in China, offering a growing number of communities easy access to daily essentials. The latest opening was in Zhangbei County, Zhangjiakou, Hebei province, where SPAR Shandong launched a new supermarket on 23 July.

Store highlights
The 1900m² supermarket showcases a great assortment of regional and local products, including fresh produce, premium quality meat, pastries, and snacks. A notable highlight is the vast selection of regionally sourced fresh seafood.

At the opening ceremony, customers could enjoy special offers on a range of products. To promote the customer loyalty programme, SPAR Shandong offered ¥5 coupons to those who registered as SPAR e-members. Customers can redeem their coupon on groceries at the new SPAR store.

Recent openings
This new supermarket is the twelfth SPAR store opening in China since 13 March, following a challenging period as a result of COVID-19. The new stores are located in the provinces of Guangdong, Beijing, and Shandong. They include various hypermarkets, supermarkets, as well as convenience stores.

Beyond offering a vast assortment of goods, all stores have implemented comprehensive measures – including mandatory facemasks – to safeguard the health and safety of customers and team members.
