June 16, 2020 IN THE CATEGORY: Store openings

Following ten weeks of extensive development and an investment of UAH3,500,000 (€843,000), a new SPAR Supermarket opened on 10 June in the Ukrainian city of Ratne. SPAR Ukraine has taken bold steps in the development of this store, incorporating several new and unique services and solutions which clearly position it as a flagship SPAR Supermarket.

Building on the learnings from around the SPAR network, the store differentiates itself with a modern design, advanced interior fixtures, extensive service departments, an instore café, 24/7 opening times, and a strong focus on customer service.

The 266m2 SPAR Supermarket includes a strong food-to-go offer, a pizza oven, and delicatessen section, in addition to the market-style fruit and vegetable section. The store also features a unique full instore bakery, which incorporates the expertise available from SPAR International’s fresh services team.

Located adjacent to the instore café, the modern food-to-go counter offering local specialities has been designed using wood and bespoke lighting.

The wide ready-to-eat assortment has proven popular with customers seeking convenient meal solutions throughout the day. Customers can rapidly move through the store, choosing from the three checkout counters and parking in the easily accessible car park.

The 26 team members operating the store received training at SPAR Ukraine’s training centre, supporting the development and adherence to SPAR standards.
