The store, which spans an area of 720sq m, is located in the town of Saldus, 120km west of the capital city of Riga.
The new offering includes an instore bakery as well as a grocery and fresh products, and is positioned as a neighbourhood store which will meet the daily needs of shoppers and customers living within the community of Saldus.
SPAR Latvia is planning a multi-format retail strategy with all stores offering goods sourced from the most popular Baltic manufacturers and brands, as well as SPAR Own Brand products from all main product groups. Shelves of the shops in Latvia will contain SPAR Own Brand products from the retailer’s value line as well as premium, organic, and eco product lines.
Andris Vilcmeiers, Chairman of the Board, SPAR Latvia, said: “Today, we are proud to open the first of at least 200 SPAR stores in Latvia which is our five-year goal. Much time and effort has been put into the development of the best SPAR neighbourhood store format to meet customer needs in Latvia. We have worked closely with different partners during this initial phase to bring customers locally sourced products as well as a range of SPAR Own Brand products.”
