SPAR renovates and makes three supermarkets more energy efficient with an investment of 736 million HUF
SPAR Hungary spent a total of 736 million forints on the modernisation of three stores, one in Miskolc, one in Sopron, and another in Tatabánya. As a result of the company’s self-funded developments, the interior of the supermarkets has been modernised and their operations became more energy efficient.
“SPAR Hungary uses significant financial resources to renovate existing stores each year. I am happy to announce that our customers can now visit three renovated SPAR supermarkets in Miskolc, Sopron, and Tatabánya because of a 736 million HUF self-funded investment project. As part of our modernisation programme, it is not only our store interiors that are renewed but in line with our strategic ambitions, we also focused on environmentally-friendly and energy saving aspects during the implementation. Our customers will be greeted with a fresh and broad range and ongoing discounts in the modernised supermarkets,” shared Márk Maczelka, head of communications at SPAR.
The SPAR supermarket under 18 Kodály square in Sopron was renovated using investment of 286 million forints. As part of the improvement the layout of the shop floor has changed, the fruit and vegetable section has become more focused, and the check-out areas were updated in line with SPAR’s latest interior design concept. In the store that reopens on the 28 November, customers will find the newly added grilled food chafers with fresh meals. The shop floor received new refrigerators and the old freezers have been replaced by upright freezer units. The lighting of the store is powered by energy efficient LED lights and a new, environmentally friendly, CO2-based heating system has been installed. The supermarkets also received new refrigeration cabinets with doors as another energy efficient solution.
SPAR Hungary carried out a 283 million HUF investment at a busy supermarket in Tatabánya. The store at “Gál István lakótelep” will welcome back customers after reopening on the 28th of November with a reverse layout. The entrance was moved to the previous check-out area followed by the fruit and vegetable section, the bakery products, deli area, dairy section and finally the freezers. The deli section now has grilled food chafers to welcome customers with fresh meals. The shop floor received new freezers and the check-out zone has been refurbished as well. The store has also been equipped with energy saving LED lighting and the heating of the building is provided by a new, environmentally friendly, CO2-based system. The new fridges equipped with doors act as further means of energy efficiency.
Under 9-11 Klapka György street in Miskolc the SPAR store was renovated from a budget of 167 million forints. The design of the shop floor follows SPAR’s minimalistic concept and was also equipped with new service counter fridges. The store also updated its check-out area and installed new drinks fridges. As a result of the investment the store has become more transparent and provides a convenient shopping experience. The shop floor of Miskolc store, which reopened on the 31st of October, is lit by energy efficient LED lights which will help cost reduction.
