SINGING and laughter filled the atmosphere at the Hillcrest KWIK SPAR as they handed over a Hyundai Grand i10 to a lucky shopper earlier today (Friday, June 20)

The winner, Frederick Haupt, said, “It feels fantastic, I did not expect it. I have never won anything in my life.”

Haupt said he often drives from Bluff to visit his son and his family.

“Whenever we go to their house, we stop at this SPAR to get snacks, I just swipe my card or give my number to get rewards, I never expected to win a car.”

The store owner Mike Egling said he and his wife Leigh-Anne, with whom he co-owns the store, feel privileged to be able to give away a prize of this magnitude to someone in the community.

“As everybody knows, SPAR owners generally live and breathe the communities that they serve because we generally live in the communities and we have the community’s best interests at heart.

“So to be able to give away a prize of this magnitude is life-changing for many and it’s great that our store, the Hillcrest KWIK SPAR, had someone that won.”

Egling said all that the shoppers need to do is to buy the products that are associated with the competition, swipe their card and automatically go into the draw.

The competition closes this Sunday, June 22.

He conveyed his gratitude to all their suppliers and sponsors, especially the SPAR corporate office for arranging this handover.

“At SPAR, we don’t have suppliers, we have supply partners that have the best interest of our businesses and really help us to succeed. So we are privileged to to be associated with both the brand and a competition like this.”
