SPAR entered the China market in 2004 opening the first store in Shandong province. Over the next decade SPAR China expanded into Beijing, Guangdong, Sichuan, Hebei and Yunnan provinces. Most recently SPAR China has welcomed partners in Tibet bringing our market coverage to 7 provinces. As of 2019 we have more than 400 SPAR stores in China bringing retail excellence to a growing number of customers. “Through united cooperation all shall benefit” China is the largest of all the SPAR markets contributing to a third of the SPAR Global market share. SPAR China seeks to access this huge market opportunity by continued development of established local retailers, providing support to increase their profit and market share. SPAR China aims to drive expansion using our unique market position to become one of the top 5 retailers in China.
