    It offers an extensive range of products with a strong focus on locally sourced goods, including chocolate from Hedona - a social enterprise founded by the Association of Disabled People in Križevci.

    Further Investment

    Helmut Fenzl, chief executive of Spar Croatia, said, "We are proud to open a Spar Supermarket in Križevci and to continue the expansion of our store network in this region.

    Better Accessibility

    Commenting on the new store, Fenzl, said, "With three Spar Supermarkets and two Interspar Hypermarkets already in operation in Rijeka, we are thrilled to have launched our sixth in the city.

    "We are pleased that our new stores in Rijeka are increasingly located in neighbourhoods, providing our customers with better accessibility and greater choice."
