Spar is closing its Garden House outlet (Mumbwa Road) and has since started the process of winding up operations.
The Mumbwa outlet is the second the South African chain stores is closing within six months.
On 29 March 2020, the Spar Zambia Limited country manager Ken Darby announced the closure of Spar Arcades owing to low business in the area.
The closure of Spar Mumbwa will lead to loss of dozens direct jobs and other up and down stream links.
Critical departments such as the bakery have already been closed down and workers have been sent home.
Why dont Zambians start their own Chain supermarkets? Why rely on foreign investors even for simple businesses such as Supermarkets? You only know how to run minibuses?
