Checkers has unveiled a new premium range called Forage & Feast, which is being endorsed by South Africa’s first Michelin star chef, Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen.
Shoprite and Checkers has purchased more than 1.5 million litres of wine from South African farms since the start of lockdown to help ease the burden brought on by Covid-19. Global import and export restrictions, a struggling local economy, and multiple COVID-19-induced liquor bans have left many South African wine farms sitting on massive wine volumes.
Checkers Hyper has a newly revamped supermarket in the Cape Town suburb of Brackenfell, which has now become one of the group’s flagship branches. The state-of-the-art Checkers Hyper Brackenfell promises a world-class shopping experience with a strong emphasis on fresh food and convenience.
Checkers is expanding its relationship with Farmer Angus to include an exclusive range of artisanal charcuterie. In a supermarket first, the range of charcuterie has been cured without added nitrates and nitrites, making Checkers the only national retailer to offer charcuterie of this incredible quality.
It’s official: Checkers is South Africa’s best grocery store and supermarket brand as voted by readers of The Star in their annual 2020 Star Readers’ Choice Awards.
