Spar

Spar is a store which you can find at petrol stations mostly but they do have a few small branches of stores only to. I do not often shop at Spar unless I need something straight away on the spot. Spar sells everything and I mean everything from the drinks,chocolate,crisps very expensive the word is over priced! Few times I have been to different Spar branches across the UK and always had some problems. Their staff they always have 2 working but do they really work? Their items are most of the times misplaced why would Coke Cans be next to Chocolates? Their staff never bother sorting that out but what is even more badder is they hardly help out expect take the ...  Read the complete review

Taking my daughter to her dance class one evening I realised I had forgotten to give her a 'snack' for the break. Lucky for me I thought, I'll pop in to the Spar for a minute. What a mistake!!! This has got to be the very worst shop I have ever entered!! The staff were busy chatting amongst themselves so I had to navigate my own way around the aisles to find something vaguely healthy - a task in which I failed!!! When I eventually plumped for a packet of crisps (I could find nothing else suitable) and took them to the counter to pay I felt like I was interrupting their conversation. Finally a painted nail was pointed as me and I was told 'thats ...  Read the complete review

I've been to Spar once in the last five years. It was to do a Mystery shopping task. The Spar outlet was located on a garage forecourt quite close to where I lived but I had never been to this place before. It was a cold blustery day as I recall. It wasn't a pleasant experience. I think I still have the receipt , let me check... ...yes, the event took place on the 22nd November 2007. I had to find £5 worth of items for which I was to be reimbursed. This was not an easy task. There was little to choose from and even less that was appetizing along the untidy neglected aisles. The food looked not fresh and unhealthy, I really didn't want to buy anything at all. ...  Read the complete review

The Spar is a local convince store that can be found within most residential areas, also conveniently there is one located near to me, although it may be as good as it may seem. The store is a akin to a miniature supermarket as it is on a smaller scale, but does not sell as wider range as the supermarkets and are definitely not as cheap as the supermarkets. The type of products that can be purchased from the stores are the usual items that you would find from a local store, such as bread, milk and the newspapers. It also stocks food, either tins or fresh products; the store near me also houses a small butchery section that supplies fresh meat, ...  Read the complete review

Spar here in Blackburn has about 4 branches the one I turn up to is the branch on Preston Old Road. This branch is very busy as its open every day of the week including Sundays which is the big bonus about them. Coming here by car you can find small space on the car park to park your car here. They have around 3 staff members working here which is a lot for a Spar Store. Here at Spar expect to find expensive prices for most of the products on sale here. The examples for those would be crisps being priced at 60p,chocolate at 70p and coke cans priced at 90p! These are the main expensive prices for the products on sale at Spar. The problem at my branch ...  Read the complete review
