Why Invest

A Spar supermarket in Cape Town, South Africa, has made the ultimate sacrifice to support small business owners in its area.

The Palm Grove Spar announced on Friday that it would be closing its stationery section the following day (Saturday), and asking customers to instead support “Hein and his team at PenCafe Stationers.

The thoughtful supermarket also announced it was removing all Frozen Burger Patties from their shelf and asking customers “that you support Werner and the RocoMamas team when deciding what Burger to enjoy”.

Spar Palm Grove said: “They are still unable to welcome you into their restaurant but Mr D will be able to bring their flavours to your doorstep.”

On Friday night, Spar said: “As the sun sets over our store tonight we are overwhelmed with gratitude. We are open, we are serving our community and our staff are able to earn an income while we are doing what we love.

“While we moved one stage closer to potential “normality”, we stop to breath.

“Over the past few weeks our breath was taken away several times. Mostly in disbelief.
We watched as our lives were brought to a grinding halt.

“Now as National Workers’ Day draws to and end we want to salute our neighbours. The ones that over the past few weeks were no longer “Workers” and unable to generate any income.”

Spar is more than keeping a promise it made a few weeks ago that “TOGETHER, we will get through this!”

The management said: “As owner run businesses, we now more than ever, need to support each other. Please help us by sharing this message with all ya connections. Good night Durbanville, see you at our Palm Grove Centre in the morning.”
