Spaza shop
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Spaza shops)
A Spaza shop is an informal convenience shop business in South Africa, usually run from home.[1] They also serve the purpose of supplementing household incomes of the owners, selling everyday small household items. These shops grew as a result of sprawling townships that made travel to formal shopping places more difficult or expensive.[2]
