In May, Spar Croatia opened a new InterSpar Hypermarket in Rijeka with an investment of €23m.

The 4,000m² hypermarket provides an extensive range of more than 30,000 products to customers.

Designed by an international architect, the retailer spent eight months carrying out the entire construction process of the hypermarket.

The first Spar Hypermarket was opened in Croatia in mid-2005 after a license agreement was signed between Austrian Spar International AG (ASPIAG) and Spar International in 2004.

Spar Croatia is a member of the ASPIAG group.

The chain’s brand has primarily developed with Spar Supermarkets and Interspar Hypermarkets, both through the takeover of existing chains and opening of new stores.
