SPAR - The Supermarket

SPAR supermarkets are modern local suppliers with a sales surface area of up to 2,000 m² featuring a special emphasis on the fresh produce sector. They combine professional standards and value-for-money advantages with the typical qualities of a neighborhood supermarket.

The innovative City SPAR market is a special type of SPAR supermarket primarily implemented in Hungary. Foods are offered in small markets located in highly frequented inner city areas - an appropriate concept to meet the requirement of city customers who are pressed for time.

A novelty is a SPAR supermarket type with a sales area of approx. 2,000 m²: It was first implemented in Slovenia (Slovenj Gradec). The core of this type of market is designed as a liberally designed market place for fresh produce, where customers can immerse themselves in the great world of food.

DEPAR markets are exclusively located in Italy. They are primarily run by independent retailers. Italy is also the only ASPIAG country where EUROSPAR markets are to be found. On a sales area of up to 2,500 m², they offer an extended fresh produce assortment and strong non-food departments.

The total number of SPAR, DESPAR and EUROSPAR markets in Northeast Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Croatia amounts to 1,022 (as of the end of 2009).
