Extensive refrigeration is required for the rich assortment of fresh seasonal products including fruit &vegetables, cheese, dairy products and meat. For all fans of products from Zurich, the new Greencity SPAR offers a good local variety.

Customers can also enjoy the convenience of the small Bean Tree Café which has 12 seats or the ‘Smoothie Maker’ counter to prepare smoothies from fruit and vegetables on offer.

Another highlight is the generous SPAR Natural area with a large selection of organic, vegetarian and vegan products. Bulk filling solutions are being trialled in this area as well. Additionally, there is a walk-in cold room with chilled drinks. Wine lovers will particularly appreciate the well-stocked wine world. A fresh flowers and flower arrangements section completes the comprehensive ranges of this store.
