Bought by Hendersons in 2024, the sore will be developed into a ‘community supermarket’ under the EUROSPAR brand, ‘enhancing its shopping experience for the local community, while bringing additional services and products to the area’.
There will be 12 new full time and part time roleswith recruitment taking place locally. The store will expand to 4,800 sq. ft. and will finish at the end of the year.
Henderson Group Retail Director, George Rankin said; “The expansion of SPAR Silverwood into a EUROSPAR supermarket not only brings a wider product range, value and additional services on our neighbours’ doorsteps, but also brings opportunity to the area with the creation of new jobs.
“Our current team of local staff will continue within the business, bringing the total number within the store to 40 after we welcome our new team members.”
The store’s food to go offering will expand with the Delish Deli breakfast and lunch options served throughout the day. A new local range of butchery products will be available, while shoppers will benefit from EUROSPAR’s value proposition, Tesco Price Match, driving down the price of hundreds of everyday essentials.
Since the store converted to a SPAR in 2024, staff have supported many clubs and charities in their local community, including Oxford Sunnyside Football Club’s girls junior team with kit sponsorship, while also raising over £3,500 in the past year for various charities.
