Spar is considering expansion into Croatia and China next year. According to local press reports, Spar Austria is studying the Croatian market and expects to take a decision on whether to enter either later this year or early next. Spar Austria is considering developing stores in partnership with Spar Slovenia.

 

In a separate development, Retail Week in the UK reports that International Spar, the central organisation of the Spar network, is preparing to open stores in China from next year. Managing director Gordon Campbell, who is to detail Spar’s plans next month, said that there is the potential for thousands of supermarkets in China over the next 10 years.

 

A first Spar store is also due to open in India next month, in the western city of Mumbai.

 

Spar目前正在考虑明年进入克罗地亚和中国市场。根据当地的媒体报告，Spar奥地利总部正在研究克罗地亚市场，而且在考虑是年底进入或明年初进入。

 

同时，Spar也在考虑与它有斯洛文尼亚的合作伙伴进一步扩大店铺数量。

 

英国零售周刊的一份报告显示，Spar国际（Spar的核心组织），准备明年在中国开店。负责开店计划的管理经理Gordon Campbell说，在接下来的10年中，中国将有潜在的发展几千个超市的市场。

 

下月，Spar在印度的第一家店也将在Mumbai西部开业。
