WHO WE ARE
A Leader in Retail
Since its inception in 1967 by Raymond Ackerman, who transformed four small Cape Town stores into a nationwide phenomenon, Pick n Pay has grown to become a leading retail franchise in South Africa and beyond. This prominent brand is renowned for its diverse range of products, including groceries, clothing, and general merchandise, earning a place as a household name in South Africa and several other African countries.
As a pioneer in franchising since the 1990s, Pick n Pay has revolutionised the retail landscape, underpinned by its commitment to customer-focused policies and a decentralised management style. This approach has fueled its growth and expansion, adapting over the years to include a robust online retail presence in response to evolving consumer needs.
Beyond its commercial success, Pick n Pay's dedication to social responsibility and sustainability has been integral to its operations, establishing it as not just a retail giant, but a responsible and trusted entity in the region.
OVERVIEW OF FRANCHISE PICK N PAY
In a remarkable feat for South Africa's economy, the franchise sector's contribution skyrocketed to R999 billion in 2023, led by Pick n Pay's trailblasing innovation and community empowerment model.
The franchise sector in South Africa accounts for 15% of the nation's GDP, reflecting a commitment to ethical business, skill development, and job creation.
Over the last few decades, Pick n Pay has redefined franchising by merging integrity with principled management. This approach has elevated retail standards and demonstrated the potential of large corporations in franchising.
The franchise model of Pick n Pay emphasises more than just business expansion; it focuses on empowering entrepreneurs and engaging with communities. Almost half of its stores in South Africa are owned by franchisees, serving diverse communities. It caters to a broad consumer base, targeting emerging markets as well as middle to upper-income shoppers. The brand's innovations continue with Pick n Pay Express—a collaboration aimed at fuel and convenience shopping—and the small format PnP Go for quick purchases.
Pick n Pay's success in franchising, underpinned by robust leadership and franchisee support, plays a crucial role in South Africa's franchise economy. It offers significant opportunities for business growth and community development.
