The Pick n Pay Group

The Pick n Pay Group is a retail business in the fast-moving consumer goods industry. We operate multiple store formats through an owned and franchise model, including supermarkets, clothing and liquor stores and an online platform. The Group trades under two banners – Pick n Pay and Boxer. Our late honorary life president and consumer champion Raymond Ackerman purchased the first four Pick n Pay stores in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1967. The Group purchased the Boxer business in 2002, then only 35 stores. Today, the Group has 2 279 stores across South Africa, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Namibia, Nigeria, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Pick n Pay is a multi-format and multi-channel retailer, operating on an owned and franchise basis. Pick n Pay operates a flexible and diverse portfolio of stores and online platforms, providing a broad food, grocery, liquor, clothing and value-added services offer. Pick n Pay is a much-loved and inclusive brand, welcoming all customers, from the most to the least affluent in society. Pick n Pay is valued within society and built on a genuine desire to make life better for our customers and to make a positive contribution to the communities we serve.

Pick n Pay Clothing provides high-quality, fashionable wardrobe essentials for the whole family at exceptional prices. Pick n Pay Clothing is one of the Group's key growth engines and is a strategic priority, with growth targeted through a combination of new stand-alone clothing stores, additional space in supermarkets and hypermarkets, and a growing online offer.

Pick n Pay asap! is the Group's on-demand online retail platform, providing customers with a convenient grocery delivery service within 60 minutes, and is one of the most utilised grocery apps in South Africa. Customer demand for online grocery shopping continues to grow and Pick n Pay provides a traditional scheduled delivery system and a Click n Collect service alongside its asap! offer.

Boxer is South Africa's leading limited range discounter. Boxer supermarkets provide customers with a compelling range of essential food and grocery products and exceptional value through its simple and highly effective operating model.
