'Spar' (trademarked as SPAR), also called Eurospar, is the world's largest food retailer, with approximately 14000 stores in 35 countries worldwide. Spar originated in the Netherlands in 1932 by legendary retailer Mr Adrial Van Well and now, through its affiliate organisations, operates through most European countries, Nigeria, South Africa, Asia, Greenland and Australia. It operates on a principle similar to retailers' co-operatives elsewhere, with owners grouping together to get bulk discounts from suppliers/wholesalers. It has its headquarters in Amsterdam.
