'''SPAR''' is a convenience store [[franchise]] which became one of [[Roadchef]]'s partners in June 2015. Large stores are being built as part of significant refurbishments to their busiest service areas. Roadchef are trialling a [https://roadchef.com/order click & collect service] for their SPAR branches.

These Roadchef stores include products from their own-brand [[Garden Square Deli]], an in-store bakery and some locally sourced products.

SPAR's return to motorway services actually started with [[Rivington]], thanks to an existing deal with [[Euro Garages]]. Euro Garages had used SPAR in most of their petrol stations, but this is changing now that they own Asda.

The SPAR franchise is a common sight across Europe, including on Irish motorways, where stores are operated by BWG Foods. The UK stands out for being one of the countries which isn't so familiar with SPAR, or its spin-off brands.

Roadchef had previously trialled an arrangement with SPAR, where it was introduced to their forecourts in the early 2000s, along with [[Costa]] and Delice de France. This concept wasn't deemed to be successful and was withdrawn.
