Limpopo shoppers got the first taste of SPAR’s brand-new SaveMor store this past weekend—and let’s just say, saving money has never looked this good.

SaveMor Targets Rising Cost of Living in South Africa

We all know how hectic the cost of living is right now. Groceries are eating pockets, and families are cutting back on basics. Enter SaveMor: SPAR’s fresh take on budget-friendly shopping that doesn’t skimp on quality.

This new SaveMor isn’t just another shop, it’s a lifeline for price-conscious households.

Affordable Shopping Without Compromising on Quality

SaveMor is positioning itself as the “hero of affordability.” Shoppers can expect solid deals on everyday essentials while still getting the trusted SPAR quality. Think big savings, same freshness, and a whole lot less stress at the till.

Local Suppliers at the Heart of SaveMor’s Retail Model

What makes this even better? Almost 90% of SPAR’s private-label goods come straight from local suppliers. That means when you shop SaveMor, you’re not just saving, you’re also supporting local farmers, small businesses, and jobs.

“This is not just a retail strategy, it’s a socio-economic commitment,” says Ed von Gericke, SPAR Group’s National Retail Operations Executive.

Big Weekend Launch Filled with Prizes and Giveaways

The Limpopo launch was buzzing! Customers walked away with prizes worth R50,000, tried their luck at spin-and-win wheels, and scored instant merch.

The Makoya of Savingscampaign had daily deals on must-haves like rice and household bundles, plus fun competitions running via text and Facebook. Safe to say, shoppers were loving the energy.

SPAR Strengthens Ties With Media and Community

This SaveMor launch comes hot on the heels of SPAR’s exclusive media luncheon in Johannesburg, where the retail giant unpacked its 2025 strategy with journalists and content creators. That event already hinted at big moves on the horizon, and SaveMor is exactly the kind of rollout that proves SPAR is serious about driving change in the retail game.

SPAR Plans Expansion of SaveMor Across Southern Africa

SPAR isn’t stopping here. More stand-alone SaveMor stores are set to pop up across Southern Africa, especially in townships and rural areas. The goal? To keep shopping simple, affordable, and community-focused.

“Affordability should never mean sacrificing quality. With SaveMor, we’re proving that value, quality, and local empowerment can and must go hand in hand,” von Gericke concludes.

Scene Feed Thought: Between the glitzy media luncheon and the vibey SaveMor launch, SPAR is clearly on a mission: making affordability the coolest thing in retail right now.
