They have the benefit of the franchisees driving that model very hard because it is their bread and butter and Spar is basically just a distributor of these franchisees,” said Suliman. “The group also has the benefit of its offshore operations in Ireland and Switzerland. Ireland is benefiting from a very strong economy and they are growing much faster than emerging markets. Switzerland is in a self-help recovery and their margins should get better from here.”
