The SPAR Supermarket in Peralada opened in a new building that blends with the traditional style of the area. It also provides the convenience of a private car park. The opening reinforces SPAR’s commitment to offering a nearby shopping option for families and households, meeting their daily or weekly shopping needs. SPAR Spain partners offer a range of consumer goods and fresh produce, including regional specialities.
The supermarket aims to cater to the local community, featuring products sourced from producers in the Alt Empordà region. In both the fresh produce and bakery departments, customers can ask for professional advice or use self-serve options. The 11 colleagues running the store provide assistance in the butchery, charcuterie, and fish counters, striving to deliver excellent service.
SPAR Spain partner Valvi Supermercats is dedicated to renewable energy and has installed solar panels at its facilities. The SPAR Supermarket de Peralada has a total of 126 photovoltaic panels, providing an installed power of 56.7 kW. Through this installation, the store has gained substantial energy savings.

SPAR Spain was founded in 1959 when a group of wholesalers who wished to join an international organisation came together. As a result, the brand became the first voluntary trading chain to be established in Spain.
The head office is in Barcelona. It provides buying, marketing, communications, and brand support to the 13 regional partners. Together, the SPAR operators actively continue the expansion of the brand across the country.
