Supermarket Showdown – How SPAR Malta Competes Against Retail Giants

Malta’s supermarket scene is dominated by a few powerful players. SPAR Malta, operated by the Azzopardi Group, has carved out its space with a €25 million turnover and 25+ stores nationwide.

Against retail titans like Lidl (23% market share, €170M+ turnover), PAMA/PAVI, and Welbee’s, SPAR’s edge lies in its balance of international retail expertise with local distribution mastery.

Our role at QLC has been to secure locations that maximize accessibility, ensuring SPAR thrives in a competitive landscape. Their commitment to value and quality, paired with smart placement, makes them a force to be reckoned with in Malta’s retail scene.
