SPAR-museum, Retail history museum in Leiderdorp, Netherlands.

The SPAR Museum occupies a former SPAR store, displaying a collection of historical retail equipment, including scales, cash registers, and product displays.

The building housed one of the first SPAR stores worldwide in 1936, starting as a counter-service shop before converting to self-service format.

The museum contains scale models of all former shops along Hoofdstraat, recreating the street's historical appearance through different time periods.

The museum features a traditional candy shop with 70 varieties of sweets, weighed on vintage scales and packaged in paper cones.

Wall panels throughout the museum present SPAR's organizational history through photographs of store buildings, trucks, products, and packaging evolution.
