Spar Hungary has announced that it has renovated one Interspar store and three Spar supermarkets in the country for HUF 3.3 billion (€9.4 million).
The retailer spent approximately HUF 1.8 billion (€5.1 million) in renovating the 20-year-old Interspar hypermarket in Dunaújváros.
The outlet now boasts of a more spacious store layout with a new delicatessen counter and an in-store bakery.
It is also equipped with innovative refrigerators, new shelves, furniture, and self-checkouts.
It also has an ‘Interspar to Go” section, which offers an extensive range of hot and cold meals.
The modernised store features energy-efficient and environmentally friendly heating, cooling, and lighting technologies, Spar added.
