Spar has announced that its partner in Northwest Italy, Gruppo 3A, has completed the conversion of all stores to the Spar brand.
Between 2 January and 20 February, Gruppo 3A converted 110 stores to three Spar formats – Eurospar, Despar, or Despar Express.
In October 2019, Despar Italia entered into a partnership with the local retailer to expand operations in north-west Italy, in the Piedmont, Liguria and Valle d'Aosta regions.
Gruppo 3A will also launch new Spar stores and collaborate with new retailers that are interested in the Spar brand.
The move is in line with the retailer’s strategy of pursuing expansion by growing the independent Spar retailer network in the region, Spar added.
