Since the take-over of the OK and Sentra Groups by Shoprite/Checkers, the franchise market in Southern Africa has taken on a new dimension. To meet the needs of this expanding and increasingly competitive market, the skills and expertise of the OK, Sentra and Shoprite have been combined, to form a new franchise group with tremendous buying muscle and excellent marketing skills - the OK Franchise Division.
 This Division franchises a number of highly esteemed names in food retailing, each aimed at a specific market and each offering great shopping facilities for the Southern African consumer, plus tremendous opportunities for investors.
Our mission is to create and control a network of well-liked, well-located franchise brands that satisfy the needs of South African consumers by providing them with a comprehensive range of quality products at competitive prices in a pleasant shopping environment, while offering entrepreneurs and investors favourable business opportunities.
The OK Franchise Division franchises five different types of retail and one wholesale outlet, each with its own identity and personality and each offering different shopping facilities – OK Foods, OK Grocer, OK Minimark, OK Value, Sentra, Megasave and Enjoy.
