Fridays are getting a major upgrade at SPAR stores nationwide with the launch of SPAR Piñata Fridays – a fresh, interactive, and fun-filled shopping experience that rewards customers for doing what they already love: shopping for their favourites at SPAR.
Imagine the buzz of a Friday afternoon in-store – laughter, countdowns, and colourful piñatas waiting to be smashed open to reveal surprise rewards. That’s exactly what SPAR Piñata Fridays are all about: turning everyday shopping into a celebration.
Every Friday, shoppers who spend R500 or more in a single transaction will receive five whacks at the piñata. Each swing offers a chance to win instant prizes. To keep the energy high, Piñata sessions take place at set times throughout the day, complete with countdowns, cheering, and a festive atmosphere that makes shopping at SPAR feel like a Friday celebration. Shoppers can stay tuned to their local SPAR’s social pages for session times, prize reveals, and moments of pure joy as the piñatas burst open.
Each piñata is packed with a mix of exciting prizes, including instant wins such snacks, and product samples. No two piñatas are the same – so every Friday brings something new to discover.
SPAR Rewards members and shoppers who purchase featured supplier products also earn extra whacks, giving them even more chances to win. It is SPAR’s way of saying thank you to loyal customers while adding an extra layer of excitement to every shop.
Piñata Fridays aren’t just about prizes – they are about bringing joy, connection, and community spirit back into shopping. It is the perfect mix of entertainment and reward, designed to make every customer feel like a winner. Social media is already buzzing with videos of shoppers taking their swings, cheering each other on, and celebrating their wins – proving that Piñata Fridays are quickly becoming a favourite weekly tradition.
“At SPAR, we believe shopping should be more than a routine – it should be something customers look forward to,” says Maxine D’Amico, Inland Promotions & Advertising Manager at SPAR. “Piñata Fridays bring that excitement to life. They reward our shoppers, create memorable moments, and set the tone for the weekend.”
