SPAR Slovenia supporting customers and communities

SPAR supermarket opens in Portorož

SPAR Slovenia opened a new, modern supermarket in Portorož, a seaside town on the Adriatic coast. Conveniently located in the main tourist area near Marina Portorož, the new supermarket provides customers with a high-quality and sustainable shopping experience. Covering more than 1,000m², with a dedicated team of 26 employees, the supermarket provides friendly service and a pleasant shopping atmosphere. In addition to this, customers can enjoy a broad selection of products with a strong emphasis on freshness and locally sourced Slovenian products. The supermarket provides a well-stocked delicatessen, fish and butchery sections, and an extensive food-to-go section offering freshly prepared meals, snacks, and bakery items. For convenience, six self-service checkouts and a coffee machine are available.

Sustainability plays a pivotal role in the supermarket’s modern design. Energy-efficient LED lighting and smart electronic price displays help reduce paper and energy consumption.

At the store opening, SPAR Slovenia donated €3,000 to three local organisations: the Piran Volunteer Fire Brigade, the Youth EPI Centre Piran, and the Protective and Work Centre Koper. These funds will support community initiatives, including youth programmes, equipment purchases, and fund a 3D printer to enable adults with special needs to create new products.

October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and for the second consecutive year, SPAR Slovenia has joined with the Europa Donna Slovenija Association to encourage women to undergo regular breast self-examinations.

As part of the “Life is the Biggest Bonus” campaign, all receipts from SPAR stores in October are printed on pink paper, featuring instructions on how to perform self-examinations and a QR code linking to further information. Through the SPAR Plus mobile app, customers are also encouraged to perform monthly checks with the help of animated guides. Instore, customers can support the campaign by donating a portion of their purchase value to Europa Donna when buying selected women’s care products. SPAR Slovenia’s campaign aims to reach women nationwide, turning awareness into action.
