SPAR Northern Ireland celebrates 60th-anniversary with 300th store opening
SPAR Coagh is the fifth opening this year within a strategy that will see the opening of 13 stores and supermarkets in 2021.
Celebrating 60 years since the brand arrived in Northern Ireland, SPAR opened its 300th SPAR store at Co. Tyrone at the end of May. SPAR Coagh is the fifth opening this year within a strategy that will see the opening of 13 stores and supermarkets in 2021, according to a company’s press release.
Local shoppers can expect fresh bays packed with locally sourced products. Complementing the fresh offering will be a deli serving hot breakfasts, homemade lunches, and carvery dinners.
“We have great ambitions for the remainder of 2021. We will continue to open stores and supermarkets that have been built with the local shopper in mind, including SPAR Coagh, which represents the next era for SPAR and its fresh food offering,” said Paddy Doody, Sales & Marketing Director at SPAR NI operator Henderson Group.
The UK became a SPAR member in 1956 when SPAR International granted the SPAR licence to a group of independent wholesalers. There are now five regional partners in the UK. The locaitons include forecourts, airports, train stations, city centres, and local neighbourhood stores.
