the supermarket uses a bitkassa.nl payment terminal, it is  a franchise store and the only one in the chain accepting BTC.

Interesting development.
Would be nice to have that at every Spar branch.

It's incredible that it was Spar to be the first supermarket to accept BTC. I'm wondering if other Spars support the initiative, and which country will be the next one.

Is it just that Spar or will it be globally?

This is a great development, even if it's a bit hyped. The fact that the Spar HQ didn't forbid the owners of this Spar branch to accept Bitcoin is a definite win.

Let's hope it stays that way, I'm sure we'll be seeing more after this one.
