HistoryIn the 1960's with the emergence of grocery chains in South Africa, a group made up of 8 wholesalers were given exclusive rights to the SPAR name and brand in 1963, and serviced 500 small retailers.Over time and through many mergers and takeovers, today the SPAR Group Ltd operates 6 distribution centres and 1 Build it distribution centre, supplying goods and services to over 1 000 SPAR stores across Southern Africa.CorporateEach SPAR has its own regional personality, offering consumers products that are unique to their local store. This is because SPAR operates under "voluntary trading" principals, encouraging our retailers to take full advantage of sourcing specific goods from local traders, as well as utilising SPAR's trading power.The SPAR Group Ltd listed on the JSE in 2004, and today operates 6 distribution centres and 1 Build it distribution centre.
