In 70 Jahren hat sich SPAR vom Lebensmittelhändler und Nahversorger Österreichs zu einem mitteleuropäischen Handelskonzern entwickelt – durch Eigenexpansion, Übernahmen sowie Akquisitionen im In- und Ausland. SPAR ist dabei ein 100% österreichisches Unternehmen in Familienbesitz geblieben, alle strategischen Entscheidungen werden von der Hauptzentrale in Salzburg aus getroffen. Täglich versorgen über 1.500 SPAR, EUROSPAR und INTERSPAR-Märkte ganz Österreich – vom Bodensee bis zum Neusiedlersee – mit hochwertigen Lebensmitteln. 680 Märkte davon werden von selbstständigen Kaufleuten betrieben.

In 70 anni SPAR si è trasformata da negozio di alimentari e fornitore locale in Austria a gruppo commerciale dell'Europa centrale, attraverso espansioni interne, rilevamenti e acquisizioni in patria e all'estero. SPAR è rimasta un'azienda austriaca al 100% a conduzione familiare, dove tutte le decisioni strategiche vengono prese dalla sede centrale di Salisburgo. Ogni giorno oltre 1.500 punti vendita SPAR, EUROSPAR e INTERSPAR riforniscono tutta l'Austria, dal Lago di Costanza al Lago di Neusiedl, con alimenti di alta qualità. Di questi, 680 mercati sono gestiti da commercianti indipendenti.
