About Spar Umlazi
SPAR is a group of independently owned supermarkets trading under different formats: SUPERSPAR (large supermarkets), SPAR, KWIKSPAR, SPAR Express, TOPS at SPAR (liquor) and Pharmacy at SPAR. In Umlazi, the store finder lists only SUPERSPAR, TOPS and pharmacy outlets, all run under the “Mega” name. That is why people search for “Mega SPAR Umlazi” or “Philani SPAR”.
There is no separate smaller SPAR or KWIKSPAR listed inside Umlazi on the store finder as of 13 September 2026.
