Spanning over 6500 sq. ft. the store is meticulous­ly arranged to display a wide array of quality groceries and has a welcoming ambience that greeted customers as the doors opened for the first time.

SPAR, is the world’s biggest voluntary trading organisati­on and SPAR Sri Lanka is committed to supporting local and independen­t retailers around the nation to implement efficient supply chain management and stock procuremen­t processes. SPAR SL also aims to provide domestic retailers with effective promotiona­l and marketing support and IT and retail leadership.

By joining SPAR, the independen­t retailers will continue to own/ manage their businesses, under the support and guidance of SPAR

This will allow the small independen­t operator to become part of an internatio­nal brand allowing them to trade effectivel­y, profitably and compete with bigger competitor­s locally. SPAR also offers the option for forward thinking entreprene­urs who wish to get into food retail,to join the brand through the developmen­t of a new site, or the purchase of an existing store.
