SPAR Group’s chairman Mike Bosman and deputy chair Shirley Zinn resign from the retailer’s board with immediate effect, according to multiple reports. Both leaders say the decision follows ongoing hostility and threats connected to continuing tensions with some retailers.

The accounts describe a sudden boardroom change but differ mainly in emphasis. One outlet frames the resignation around alleged sustained threats and a hostile environment, while another focuses on the boardroom shake-up and leadership departure without detailing the allegations. In both versions, the resignations occur as SPAR continues to face disputes involving retailers, and the exits point to heightened internal strain at board level.

Together, the reports agree on who stepped down and when, while the added detail about the nature of the alleged threats appears in at least one account. Both present the resignations as linked to the retailer’s ongoing conflicts rather than a routine governance transition.
