SPAR, originally DESPAR, is a Dutch multinational franchise that manages independently owned and operated food retail stores. Spar was founded in 1932 in the South Holland town of Zegwaart (now Zoetermeer) by Adriaan van Well. In 1953 an International Spar office opened in Amsterdam to control and further develop the organisation throughout Europe and other continents.

The name was originally DE SPAR, an acronym of the Dutch phrase Door Eendrachtig Samenwerken Profiteren Allen Regelmatig (English: “through united co-operation everyone regularly profits”). The acronym was chosen in order to resonate with the verb sparen, which (related to English spare) means “save [money]” in Dutch and some other languages, among them German and Scandinavian languages (with variants such as spara or spare). The acronym ended up meaning “the fir”, after which the logo was chosen. As the organisation expanded across Europe, the name was abbreviated by dropping the DE prefix.
