In tandem with the growth of proximity retailing throughout Europe, SPAR Ukraine has opened three new SPAR Express stores aimed at meeting the daily shopping needs of customers in the Lviv and Volvn regions.

Building on the learnings from around the SPAR network, the stores differentiate themselves with a modern design, state-of-the-art interior fixtures, great service departments, and a strong focus on customer service.

The delicatessen counters in the stores offer a range of cheese and meat products, complementing the food-to-go offer. The fresh food selection includes a bakery offering, fresh fruit and vegetables and, in the Zaliznychna Street store, a range of pastries.

Convenience and great experience

Residents of the local neighbourhood can shop in their nearby SPAR Express store for any meal solution from the wide ready-to-eat assortment, as well as a selection of wines and spirits to complement the grocery offer. The friendly service and value offer, combined with their lengthy trading hours, will provide convenience and a great shopping experience. Customers can rapidly move through the store, choosing from the two checkout counters and parking in the easily accessible car park.

About SPAR Ukraine

SPAR has experienced a lot of change in Ukraine over the past few years and on 1 December 2016, a new licence was granted to Volwest LLC, a retailer with a strong track record of partnering with independent retailers. Volwest works with all SPAR retailers to strengthen the brand presence in the country, opening new convenience stores, supermarkets and hypermarkets.
