'As everybody knows, SPAR owners generally live and breathe the communities that they serve because we generally live in the communities and we have the community's best interests at heart. 'So to be able to give away a prize of this magnitude is life-changing for many and it's great that our store, the Hillcrest KWIK SPAR, had someone that won.' Egling said all that the shoppers need to do is to buy the products that are associated with the competition, swipe their card and automatically go into the draw. The competition closes this Sunday, June 22. He conveyed his gratitude to all their suppliers and sponsors, especially the SPAR corporate office for arranging this handover.
