They are franchise aren't they? A couple of years ago my local newsagent was done out and fitted with all the Spar signage. It was a big improvement. Better stock, well lit, open longer hours and the staff seemed to have gone on some kind of customer care course. But just a few months later all the branding came down and it pretty much reverted back to how it was, poorly stocked and complete with surly staff.
I always assumed there had been some kind of disagreement between them, presumably not happy about having to be civil to their punters.
