SPAR

General information

The SPAR Northern Ireland franchise is owned by family run company Henderson Group based in Mallusk. Hendersons began in the retail grocery business back in 1897 selling butter, cheese, and eggs at premises in the Old Lodge Road in Belfast. John Henderson was a well-known figure and frequently was a judge of cheese and butter at the annual Balmoral Show. John Henderson's son-in-law William Agnew took over the business and it has stayed in the Agnew familiy to this day. In 1956 the SPAR franchise was introduced into the UK and in 1961 Henderson Group brought the franchise to NI. Today there are over 300 SPAR stores across Northern Ireland.
