SPAR Italy’s stance
In 1959, the SPAR Brand’s licence was first given to SPAR Italy, also known as DESPAR Italia in the region. The first SPAR shop opened its doors in 1960, making it the first retailer-wholesaler partnership to run a business in the nation. Regional partners are also licenced by SPAR Italy, and they all collaborate to expand the brand’s reach throughout the nation.
The DESPAR consortium runs shops in three different formats: INTERSPAR Hypermarkets, EUROSPAR Supermarkets, and DESPAR Neighborhood Supermarkets. Because of the size of the necessary investment, many of the larger format stores are corporately owned. The organization’s plan to provide communities with a high-quality, specialised grocery offering includes the independently operated neighbourhood supermarkets.
