Spar extends digital platform partnership

Convenience store chain Spar International has extended its agreement with its digital platform provider to further tackle food waste

The extended partnership with Gander will facilitate a wider roll-out across Spar markets, strengthening the collaborative, global approach to food waste reduction.

Gander offers Spar a real-time, automated mobile platform that helps food stores sell more close-to-expiry date, discounted food products. Participating Spar retailers help customers make significant savings and reduce food waste by purchasing the price-reduced products available each day.

Speaking about the new partnership, Tobias Wasmuht CEO Spar International said: “As an international food retailer, we are committed to creating sustainable solutions for our customers as part of our goal of reducing wastage throughout the supply chain.”
