Ten years ago in 2010, experienced supermarket operator and industry leader Lou Jardin had the vision to expand and grow the SPAR independent supermarket network and business. Lou and his family invested their resources and time into the SPAR business located in Acacia Ridge Queensland, and Lou became SPAR Australia Managing Director. The SPAR Australia business included warehousing and distribution facilities, store support services and SPAR Marketing, Advertising and Promotional functions. The SPAR business has been driven by a team of dedicated professionals who together have significantly accelerated the modernisation of the SPAR Brand, always acting with the best interests of SPAR, SPAR Express and 5 STAR Supermarket branded members in mind.
