Gavan and Helen Wall who operate six SPAR stores and two EUROSPAR stores in North and West Belfast, have added to their portfolio with the re-launch of the all-new EUROSPAR Springfield Road taking their store count to eight.

The new-look store replaces the former supermarket which was purchased by  The Wall Group (TWG) from previous local owner, Brendan McKee in September 2025.

The refurbishment represents a £1M investment into the community from the new owners, bringing 20 new jobs meaning there are now 65 team members from the area employed in-store, with the store now standing at 5,844 sq. ft.

The store provides the area with a new own-brand Walls Foodhall Butchery counter and Food-to-Go deli serving hot breakfast and lunch on the go, in addition to a brand new Subway counter serving the best of the US franchise’s signature sandwiches. It also boasts everyday essentials on top of a host of local grocery suppliers, own-brand fresh ranges for tonight’s tea, increased selection of SPAR Bakery and local suppliers including recently introduced Pattons Bakery, as well as increased offerings of both dairy and fresh produce.

In addition, the store operates an Off Licence, a Barista Bar coffee machine and an internal and external ATM, bringing all those essential services back to the area.

The new site has also increased opening hours for shoppers’ convenience and now trades 24 hours, 7 days a week.

Phase two of the refurbishment is also being planned with further investment to come in the near future to upgrade parking, fuel pumps and store access.

Gavan Wall, store owner, commented, “We are committed to the communities within which we operate, and are delighted to add another EUROSPAR to our network of stores which are providing local jobs and supporting local producers and suppliers.

“Our new opening hours have already been so beneficial with a number of late-night workers in the area including those from The Royal Victoria Hospital which is within a stone’s throw to the amazing new store.

“We are looking forward to phase two of the refurbishment which will redevelop the exterior of the store including relocating pumps, new external imagery and increased car parking space for our shoppers’ convenience.”

Despite only owning the store for less than a year, TWG have already made an impact on their local community, fundraising for EUROSPAR NI’s official charity partner, Cancer Fund for Children, and have plans to continue to raise funds for the organisation which works with families to empower young people impacted by cancer.

Cameron Hughes, store manager added, “We have a fantastic team here at the new EUROSPAR Springfield Road and we all look forward to deepening our connection with the local community and developing our engagement and fundraising activities, while providing outstanding customer service daily for our shoppers. We look forward to what the future holds for EUROSPAR Springfield Road.”

Richard Ash, Sales Director at Henderson Group commented; “It is fantastic to see the new features, offers and products come to life for our local shoppers at EUROSPAR Springfield Road. TWG is a perfect example of passionate retailers with a network of community stores, continuing to make a positive impact while serving their community. We wish the whole team good luck for the future of this fantastic store.”
