With a retail sales area of 157m2, this SPAR Supermarket offers shoppers a premium butchery counter, delicatessen range, delicious cakes and pastries in the fresh bakery, fruit and vegetables, plus dry groceries.

The local and regional meal solutions have been popular. Customers on the go can enjoy diverse prepared foods and a selection of coffee or frozen drink options. Instore, SPAR Ukraine has used digital signage to communicate special offers, new product launches and campaign communication.

An easy to join loyalty programme enables customers to track accumulated bonus points, earn discounts for future purchases, and track their history.
