SPAR Expands Presence in Sri Lanka with New Outlets in Kandy and Kurunegala

Sri Lanka’s only global supermarket chain, SPAR Sri Lanka, continues its expansion across the island with the opening of its newest outlets in Kandy and Kurunegala.

The Kandy outlet, located at 27B, George E. De Silva Mawatha, will officially open its doors on Monday, March 30 at 10.00 a.m., marking a long-awaited milestone for shoppers in the hill capital.

This expansion to 12 stores islandwide reflects SPAR’s commitment to making internationally benchmarked retail experiences more accessible beyond Colombo.

SPAR’s growth in Sri Lanka is powered by its strong local partnership with Ceylon Biscuits Limited (CBL), one of the country’s most respected and valued brands. Since entering the Sri Lankan market in 2017, SPAR has combined global retail expertise with CBL’s deep-rooted understanding of local consumers and supply chains. Together, this collaboration has enabled SPAR to introduce a “global yet local” retail concept, supporting Sri Lankan producers while offering customers access to international-quality products and experiences.

SPAR is committed to driving its future expansion in partnership with local entrepreneurs under the SPAR SaveMore brand. Through this initiative, SPAR aims to empower and develop local business owners by strengthening their capabilities, enhancing operational standards, and providing access to a globally recognised retail framework.

Over the past seven years, SPAR Sri Lanka has strengthened its presence in the supermarket industry, now offering a superior product range that brings together both international and locally sourced goods to meet every customer’s needs. Shoppers can also enjoy a premium selection of SPAR-owned products, developed to meet global quality standards while supporting local manufacturing.

With a strong focus on fresh food excellence, SPAR stores feature dedicated sections for fresh produce, bakery, meat, and their popular ready-to-eat meals. Complemented by excellent customer service delivered by internationally trained staff and thoughtfully designed store layouts with a modern ambience, SPAR ensures a seamless and enjoyable shopping experience for all.

The opening of the 13th SPAR outlet in Kurunegala is scheduled for April. SPAR’s growth signals not only geographic expansion but also continued investment in elevating the supermarket landscape in Sri Lanka with a world-class experience committed to enhancing convenience, quality, and value for customers across the island.

With its signature blend of international standards and local relevance, SPAR is set to redefine everyday grocery shopping for communities in Kandy, Kurunegala, and beyond.
