DESPAR Italia consortium members Nord Ovest and Centro Sud have reopened SPAR Supermarkets and INTERSPAR Hypermarkets following major renovations.  

DESPAR Nord Ovest re-opened the DESPAR Supermarket in Piazza De Amicis, Turin, showcasing their dedication to improving the retail network and catering to local customer needs.  

The store now features a refreshed design and an improved shopping journey, offering fresh produce such as fruit, vegetables, meat, bakery items and cheese.  

Shoppers can also find a selection of local products and DESPAR Italia's own brand goods. 

With sustainability in mind, the company implements eco-friendly solutions such as the latest generation of closed refrigerated counters and energy-saving LED lighting.  

The store is also participating in the Too Good To Go initiative, which aims to reduce food waste by saving unsold food items. 

The INTERSPAR Hypermarket in Policoro has also reopened with a modernised appearance and sustainable innovations.  

The renovation is part of the Format 35 store design concept, a collaborative effort between DESPAR Centro Sud, the University of Parma and SPAR International.  

The hypermarket now offers modernised departments, including fresh food sections, and a comprehensive grocery assortment for a convenient one-stop shopping experience. 

The hypermarket's upgrade also includes the installation of LED lighting systems and CO₂ refrigeration systems with the latest refrigeration technology, ensuring energy efficiency and high safety and reliability standards. 

In May 2024, DESPAR Italia expanded its network with the opening of eight new stores in the Central South region including seven DESPAR supermarkets and one EUROSPAR supermarket.
