The SPAR Group Limited is a South African based warehousing and distribution business, listed on the JSE in the Food and Drug Retailing sector, since 2004. The Group is a licensed member of SPAR International and operates in four distinct geographical regions (Southern Africa, Ireland, Poland and Switzerland).
The Group operates according to the principle of voluntary trading through the SPAR Guilds franchise model. This model allows independent retailers freedom to cater to their communities’ needs while at the same time being held up to standards and rules that keep them uniform as SPAR brands.
In South Africa, the Group has a portfolio of over 2,500 member stores, trading under eight banners and supplied through and supported by eight DCs. These trading brands offer products across grocery, fresh produce, liquor, pharmaceuticals and building material.
The Group is headed up by CEO Angelo Swartz.
