Modernization of the Spar supermarket in Alberndorf: A step to new opportunities

Von WOM

In Alberndorf, the Spar supermarket, which has been operated by non-profit GmbH "Perspective Trade Caritas" for more than 13 years, has experienced extensive renovation. This renewal, which started at the end of July, includes both external and internal measures, including modernization of house and refrigeration technology. The market manager, Klaudia Raml, expresses her satisfaction about the result: "We look forward to our modernized workplace. The result is impressive."

The Spar supermarket in this region plays an important role because it offers 19 employees employment, including ten apprentices who have the chance to gain valuable experience in retail. The focus is on supporting people with obstacles to placement, and purchasing in the market is thus associated with a special social purpose.

motto: "Your purchase - my chance"

The motto "Your purchase-my chance" illustrates the philosophy behind the Spar supermarket in Alberndorf. Wolfgang Scheidl, Managing Director of Handel Caritas gGmbH, emphasizes: "I am pleased that we can now continue our successful work in the qualification of young people in a beautifully renewed market in Alberndorf." The modernization not only creates an appealing shopping atmosphere, but also significantly improves the perspective for trainees.

In addition, the collaboration between Spar and the Caritas organization lines the basis for a sustainable local supplier. This type of social engagement not only creates jobs, but also contributes to economic stability in the community. All over Upper Austria, the non-profit GmbH “perspective trade” operates a total of four savings supermarkets that aim to facilitate people (re) entry into professional life.

JAKOB Leitner, Managing Director of the SPAR-Central Marchtrenk, emphasizes how important this modernization is for the community: “With the modernization of the SPAR supermarket in Alberndorf, we were not only able to make the local supply for the Mühlviertel community more contemporary-we also laid the foundation stone for further cooperation with the non-profit GmbH perspective trade."

The changes in the Spar supermarket are not only a profit for customers, but also represent an important step towards inclusion and workplace integration. This type of initiative shows how companies can contribute to solving social challenges through innovative approaches and cooperation.
