With the name change we closed down 121 SPAR stores across Denmark, and replaced the logo on the front with the name of the local grocer. So people could go shopping at Thomas, Peter, Lars or Ellen. But we didn’t stop there. Their names were used on shopping baskets, bags, online and social.

The name change was picked up by national media, With a reach of 68%, and an estimated PR value of 10,5 million DKK. And even ended up as a question in the 2016 edition of Bezzerwisser.
