Spar Schweiz

Swedish Vertiseit group has acquired digital signage specialist Scala. Until recently, Scala was part of US retail media group Stratacache. Its British subsidiaries, Stratacache UK and PRN UK, have been in insolvency and liquidation proceedings since the beginning of May. Furthermore, there are clear signs of widespread financial difficulties within the Stratacache Group. The Retail Optimiser reported.

Spar Switzerland has teamed up with service station operator Avia to open its first autonomous Spar Express convenience store in its country. Via smartphone, customers gain access and register their purchases in the store.
