SPAR Hungary won the Store of the Year 2024 competition with outstanding results among retail chains. In the supermarket category, the SPAR supermarket on Görgey út in Újpest won the gold medal. The store, located a few minutes from Újpest-Központ, got a completely new look in 2023 and its interior was also renewed.
