Presently, the Spar network consists of about 140 stores and 1,800 staff members throughout Georgia. The majority of employees is students. A regular survey of employee satisfaction which took place this year showed that it is necessary to take steps for gaining the student-employee loyalty, in particular through supporting their education, owing to the growth rate of the company. Based on a confidential survey as well as interviewing staff and engaging in communication with various universities, the top three student-employees were selected whose study fees at their respective universities will be financed by Spar. The program met with a rather large response. According to the results of a survey conducted among store managers, the scholarship program was named as the most positive activity of the year.

Consequently, the management has decided to make the project a permanent part of the company. The project has also gained attention at Spar International and this could serve as the basis for initiating international exchange programs.
