"This anniversary is, above all, a shared celebration. Thanks to the trust of thousands of families, we have been able to grow alongside Gran Canaria for four decades and continue to be present in the daily lives of our customers," says Dunia Pérez, general manager of SPAR Gran Canaria.
Four decades growing with Gran Canaria
SPAR Gran Canaria was founded in 1986 by four local business owners who decided to join forces to strengthen their businesses. A year later, it became part of SPAR International, and has maintained a 100% Canarian ownership and management structure ever since.
Forty years later, the company has more than 200 stores spread across the island's 21 municipalities, a workforce of over 3.700 people, and a business network comprised of 40 partners and franchisees. In 2025, its revenue exceeded €400 million.
A commitment to local production has been one of the cornerstones of its development. The chain currently works with more than 200 farmers and suppliers on the island and markets a wide range of locally sourced products, contributing to the strengthening of Gran Canaria's primary sector.
"These 40 years also belong to our employees, farmers, suppliers, and partners. Thanks to them, we have built a company deeply linked to the economic and social development of Gran Canaria, and we want to continue generating value for the island for decades to come," Pérez emphasizes.
With this campaign, SPAR Gran Canaria turns its anniversary into a shared celebration with the people who have accompanied the company for four decades, reaffirming its commitment to proximity, support for local products and the development of the island economy.
