This brings the total number of Spar stores in the country to three, all licensed to PTC, a subsidiary of conglomerate Press Corporation Limited.<\/p>\n
PCL Group Chief Executive Officer, George Partridge, described the opening of the new shop as a milestone in the vision of PCL to dominate the market in the various industries that its subsidiaries are operating.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a turning point for our clients and prospective customers and they should expect the best shopping experience matching international standards,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He was speaking during the official opening of the new outlet in Blantyre on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n
Two years ago, PTC was granted a licence to operate the Spar franchise in the country. Since then, the retail chain has opened three Spar outlets, one in Lilongwe and two in Blantyre.<\/p>\n
Looking forward, Partridge said the conglomerate will continue to reinvent and support its companies to maintain competitive advantage in their various industries.<\/p>\n
Spar International Representative, Keith Heywood, said he is optimistic that the partnership will continue to create more jobs for many Malawians now and in the future.<\/p>\n
