Despite the challenging economic environment, SPAR Hungary continues its investments, having renovated three of its supermarkets in Budapest and Ajka in recent weeks. As a result of the development series worth nearly 2.3 billion forints, customers across the country can experience a more modern environment, an expanded selection, and modern services that make shopping easier every day.

“The catchment area of the renovated supermarkets has long demanded SPAR’s high-quality products and services. The trust and commitment of our customers play a key role in continuously developing our network, in the spirit of high quality, wide selection and sustainability,”

emphasized Márk Maczelka, Head of Communications at SPAR Hungary.
