SPAR Italy partner Maiora has reopened the newly refurbished INTERSPAR Hypermarket in Via Fiera, Italy.

Located inside the Cilento Shopping Park, the INTERSPAR Hypermarket underwent a major restyling as part of the company’s modernising programme in the Centre-South region.

The refreshed store is influenced by Format 35, a new store concept jointly proposed by DESPAR Centro-Sud, the University of Parma and Store Design experts from SPAR International.

Changes were made in all the fresh food departments, the fruit and vegetable area, the butcher shop and the fish department, where ready meals and fish specialities are added.

Cilento INTERSPAR Hypermarket also features a wine bar, a refrigerated cellar and a new parking area outside.

With a focus on sustainability, the company installed LED lighting systems and CO₂ refrigeration systems to improve energy efficiency and high standards of reliability and safety.

The renovation led to the addition of ten new colleagues, taking its total number of team members to 30.

In addition, the reopening takes SPAR Italy’s network in Campania to more than 140 stores overall.

Mairoa CEO Pipp Cannillo said: “Our plan to modernise the network is also continuing in Campania aimed at bringing the brand-new services and depth of assortment thanks to our new format to all the regions of Central South.”

In May this year, the Austrian branch of SPAR opened a new INTERSPAR Hypermarket in Gänserndorf, Lower Austria.
