Spar stores are also part of the stores identified by the government to help South Africans with a chance of purchasing essential goods. The company is also operating in all provinces of South Africa and also they are available in rural areas where the franchise is doing well. The company has also developed a number of their own essential products.
The company has two different sectors which are normal Spar and Kwik Spar. The difference is that the normal Spar serve customers just like any other supermarket while Kwik Spar provides sales like the normal Spar but they do follow up when it comes to all products purchased from their stores meaning that they hired external companies to conduct surveys on their clients about their products to see if customers are happy or they should do much better when it comes to products.
During lockdown, Spar is making sure that their stores are sanitized every night before they open for business the net day and also their staff are well protected as they use protective gear which comprises of a jumpsuit which includes a face mask and hand gloves. The employees of Spar were all trained on how to work as they are confronted by different customers while working at their different departments.
When it comes to vegetable, Spar is making sure that their products are all washed before being put on shelves for customers to buy. Everyday when they close shop they make sure that all vegetables are checked and washed and those expired are thrown away. By doing so the company is helping South Africans and the government to fight the spread of the coronavirus.
All essential items being sold at Spar are cleaned on a daily basis as customers touch and leave products without buying most of the time and no one know whether those who touched products are sick or healthy so they make sure all their products are clean by deploying employees in all their shelves to clean products each and every hour.
Spar employees have just received their increase letters which means their annual salary increases are not affected by lockdown. The company is also employing new workers everyday to make sure they are not short of staff when the need arises. All people wishing to work for Spar are promised to be joining one of the best companies to work for in the country.
