By GlobalDataSPAR Oman developed the store layout and interior design by drawing on best practices observed during visits to SPAR outlets in other countries.
The premises are leased from Al Rahma, a national charitable organisation that provides housing, training and employment opportunities to women and orphans.
The latest move continues SPAR’s expansion worldwide.
In October 2025, ESPAR Italia (SPAR Italy), together with the six companies forming its consortium, extended its retail network across the country with ten new outlets and the reopening of two modernised stores in different formats.
The DESPAR Express convenience format registered multiple additions, including new stores in Tor Bella Monaca, Rome and Acquaformosa in Calabria, both of which offer product selections suited to local consumer needs.
