In our fourth and final issue of Contact International for the year, we showcase success from across the SPAR retail network in the last 12 months.

We profile SPAR Austria as they celebrated 70-years in business, having first established the SPAR Brand in 1954. A summer of sport was an opportunity for SPAR country organisations to bring innovative consumer competitions to customers. Additionally, this issue looks at some of the initiatives undertaken by SPAR country organisations to promote women’s participation in sports, fostering health, and creating opportunities for future generations.

SPAR International leverages extensive expertise to collaborate with SPAR country organisations, to create best-in-class store designs. In this issue, we highlight some outstanding stores and solutions across the network. This includes in China, where the SPAR Brand continues to grow and develop across the country thanks to continuous store development and modernisation, as well as the optimisation of the supply chain network nationwide.

We round this issue out with a recap of some of the important events in the SPAR calendar, including the SPAR Connected Retail Conference 2024 which took place in Gran Canaria, and the SPAR Supply Chain Conference 2024 in Norway.
