Searching for the Spar Group usually means one thing: what is this business, and what does it actually do? The Spar Group Ltd, styled as SPAR, is a major South African supermarket chain and the country's largest by total number of stores. It operates under licence for the Dutch SPAR International brand, which allows stores to run under that name in various countries.
Its headquarters are in uMhlanga, KwaZulu-Natal, and the business belongs to the retail sector. The company was founded in 1963, and its ordinary shares carry the code SPP on the JSE Limited, the exchange where the listing sits. Readers who look up SPP will find a grocery-focused retail group rather than a single-store operator.
The group's identity rests on that licence model and its store network, which is the largest of its kind in South Africa by store count. Everything above comes from public reference material about the company.
