A key project within the programme is the reopening of a 4,000m\u00b2 INTERSPAR hypermarket in Veszpr\u00e9m, following a \u20ac7.26m renovation.<\/p>\n
Work covered in-store equipment, the internal layout, and external elements such as the fa\u00e7ade and entrance.<\/p>\n
The site has added digital screens, electronic shelf labels, revised checkout options and a REpont return machine.<\/p>\n
It employs 77 people. A SPAR toGo zone with fresh food and drinks, charging points and a terrace is due to open in June.<\/p>\n
