Spar UK MD Jerry Marwood revealed that he is aiming to operate as many as 5,000 stores - to the highest standard.
He told delegates at the group’s conference in Cape Town yesterday (Thursday) that Spar’s goal is to evolve into the UK’s biggest and best convenience retailer.
But to achieve this, he warned the delegates that they would have to “break the habits of a lifetime”
Marwood said that Spar is looking to develop world class retail solutions, cutting edge innovation and much greater collaboration between retailers, wholesalers and suppliers.
“There’s no silver bullet,” he added. “We need to be good at lots of things all at the same time.”
