With plans to open a Spar Hypermarket at Bengaluru in another 60 days, the company will have another 10 stores, including Tamil Nadu, in the coming two years, Spar India Managing Director and CEO Rajeev Krishnan told reporters here.
The CEO, here to inaugurate the 18th store in India and second in the city, said the company has understood that over the past 10 years, customers have evolved and so as their shopping aspirations.
Talking about the store, claimed to be the first in India as far as technology and innovation are concerned, Rajeev Krishnan said the company has reduced the billing time--customers standing in the queue--almost by 60 per cent.
Another major attraction was that Spar has put together all the children's products in the same section called 'little Wonders'.
