Hi, Your sentence reads better without "spread" so it is not necessary. Note the comma; The new store, which has 500 employees and 21 aisles (spread) over 90,000 square feet , is the first Market Basket store in Manchester. Hamid

I don't agree. I think it sounds more natural with 'spread', and the word certainly emphasises the extent of the floor area.
