SPAR Reaps Benefits of Multi-format Strategy
SPAR International has announced a third consecutive year of outstanding sales growth despite global recession, with retail sales for the period from 1 January to 31 December 2011 up 4.6% on 2010.
SPAR's worldwide retail sales grew by €1.36 billion in 2011, leading to overall sales of €31.1 billion and a cumulative three year retail sales increase of 16%.
SPAR International met another key expansion milestone in 2011, with its move into the Middle East. The first SPAR supermarket opened in the United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi and will provide the platform for further expansion in the region. Qatar will soon become the 37th SPAR country with its first SPAR supermarket opening later this year.
The newer SPAR countries also had a fantastic year. Retail sales in China grew by an outstanding 70% to €701 million and by 22% in Russia to €935 million.
This year, for the special SPAR International Congress marking the 80th anniversary of the food retail chain, Dr Gordon Campbell welcomed almost 300 delegates from 35 countries, a record attendance which demonstrates the strength and vitality of the worldwide organisation.
