Success through individual store formats
The key to SPAR's success in Northern Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, and Croatia lies in its innovative and individual store formats.
Since 1991, ASPIAG has taken a forward-thinking approach to creating and managing modern, customer-friendly stores within the independent SPAR organizations across various countries. In developing markets, the goal has been to establish a diverse range of store formats. The key to success for SPAR in Northern Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, and Croatia lies in its flexible adaptation to local factors.
To support this, ASPIAG developed the ‘model market concept,’ which can be successfully and sustainably replicated in the respective countries, based on regional needs and consumer behavior. The range of store formats includes small local retailers like Italy’s DESPAR stores, specialized SPAR City Markets, full-line SPAR Supermarkets, large-scale EUROSPAR markets, and expansive INTERSPAR Hypermarkets.
