SPAR International is a Netherlands-founded multinational franchise that provides branding, supplies, and support services for independently-owned and -operated food retail stores.
It works on a partnership business model, wherein local retailers collaborate to provide value while keeping themselves autonomous to serve their communities tirelessly. In other words, it partners with local retailers to thrive in this industry.
This time, it is making changes to its operations, now that it has partnered not with a local retailer, but with Uber Eats. Read on for the scoop.
Yes, there are around a hundred more stores coming to the platform now that Uber Eats has tied up anew with SPAR.
“Consumers no longer view delivery as a luxury, they expect it,” stated Alex Troughton, officer for grocery and retail at Uber Eats. “Expanding SPAR stores on the Uber Eats app means we’re not just enabling convenience – we’re reimagining retail around consumer behaviour, backed by data, insights, and real outcomes.”
So, what does this all mean? This only means that, aside from the major expansion in Uber Eats’ business dealings, this collaboration will bring precisely over 800 stores into the food and grocery delivery app within the companies’ interests, making it easier more than ever to receive essentials and other goods at your doorsteps.
“As a deeply local retail network, SPAR’s roots are in community,” stated Blake Raubenheimer, the omnichannel executive at SPAR. “By scaling SPAR with Uber Eats, we’re extending that community connection into the digital economy – helping our independent retailers access new markets and more customers.”
Together, the companies are constructing a model that does more than just bring convenience, but is an entity designed to empower independent shop owners and create new economic opportunities for your communities.
