There is a store in Oxfordshire where history isn’t just written, it’s lived. SPAR Minster Lovell isn’t an average convenience store; it’s an institution, a custodian of memories that has been standing tall for almost nine decades.Back in 1937, when the store first opened, the owners surely could not have predicted the glorious journey ahead.

From wartime rations to1970s recession to witnessing the birth of self-service supermarkets to the digital age, this shop has seen it all. Undeterred by challenges and evolving with each generation, SPAR Minster Lovell has remained a steadfast pillar of the community for all these decades.
