Spar Convenience Store is located in Shrewsbury in the county of Shropshire.
Shrewsbury is the county town of Shropshire. The town is on the River Severn and the 2011 census recorded a population of roughly 72,000. Located 9 miles east of the Welsh border, Shrewsbury serves as the commercial centre for Shropshire and Mid Wales with a retail output of over £299 million per year.
The A5 and A49 trunk roads come together as the towns by-pass and five railway lines meet at Shrewsbury Railway Station. The town is located 150 miles north-west of London.
The business is situated in an unopposed and prominent corner position at the end of a small shopping parade in the centre of a densely populated residential area comprising a mix of property types with both private and rented accommodation and thus benefits from unusually high levels of footfall.
