Spread across 1,470m² in the Marti retail park, the SPAR Supermarket in Rijeka features an extensive product range, including A-brands, SPAR Own Brands, a selection of DESPAR Italia Own Brand products, and other Italian branded goods. It also employs 35 people.

Fenzl added: “With three SPAR Supermarkets and two INTERSPAR Hypermarkets already in operation in Rijeka, we are thrilled to have launched our sixth in the city.

“We are pleased that our new stores in Rijeka are increasingly located in neighbourhoods, providing our customers with better accessibility and greater choice.”

SPAR entered Croatia through a licence agreement between Austrian SPAR International (ASPIAG) and SPAR International, as well as opened its first store during mid-2005.

In August 2018, SPAR opened a new supermarket in the Zagreb district of Knežija in Croatia with an investment of more than €8m.

Earlier this month, Certas Energy selected Spar UK to serve as convenience partner across 35 of its petrol filling stations.
