Pick n Pay is a multi-format,
multi-channel retailer with a strong
and diverse portfolio of stores.
Pick n Pay is an inclusive brand, not aimed at serving a single customer demographic, but focused on being the retailer for all – from the most affluent in society to those who are less fortunate and for whom price is of the utmost importance. The middle-income South African consumer, however, makes up the largest portion of our customer base. Pick n Pay operates on both an owned and franchise basis, providing a wide range of products and value-added services, and includes an online offering. Pick n Pay is focused on delivering an exceptional customer offer, including range, quality, price, availability and service. Pick n Pay has a strong growth plan, benefiting from the flexibility of its formats and its leaner operating model, and will focus on bringing its offer to communities where we are not yet well represented, including through small convenience stores.

Pick n Pay supermarkets offer a wide range of groceries, as well as a targeted range of clothing, general merchandise and value-added services. Customers can buy everything they need, from a quick daily top-up to a larger weekly or monthly bulk shop. Fresh produce and butchery offerings are complemented by an in-store bakery, deli and hot food counter. Pick n Pay supermarkets serve a wide range of communities, from lower and middle-income families to the most affluent households. Product ranges are tailored to meet the needs of customers. Some stores focus on basic necessities and local produce while others boast specialty service counters, wine rooms, flower markets and sushi bars.

Pick n Pay’s largest format store, providing customers with an expanded range of groceries, clothing, liquor and general merchandise. A hypermarket is a “one-stop shop” offering fresh produce, a butchery, deli, bakery and hot food counter, plus specialist categories not always available in a supermarket, such as appliances, kitchenware, home improvement, garden and pool accessories, toys and an expanded health and beauty range. These retail sites are large, catering for destination shoppers, with wide aisles and ample parking. Prices are very competitive, leaning towards multi-pack and bulk-buy items and a wholesale offering.

Pick n Pay Local stores offer neighbourhood convenience, serving a range of communities, focused on lower and middle-income families. A Local store has a much smaller range than a traditional supermarket, tailored specifically to the community it serves. The range is focused on fresh and convenience, and can include a bakery and butchery. Customers can pop in quickly for a daily top-up, but can still choose from a tailored grocery and general merchandise offer for a larger weekly shop.
