Ballito is home to the first smaller format Checkers Foods supermarket in KwaZulu-Natal, and only the third one in South Africa.

Customer demands for Checkers supermarkets in their neighbourhoods inspired Checkers Foods, and the first two stores opened in Roodepoort (in Gauteng) and the historic town of Franschhoek (in the Western Cape).

The 1 305m² newly launched Checkers Foods store located in Ballito Steps boasts an expanded fresh food offering with solution-based convenience ranges curated to meet specific customer needs, including lunch, braai, dinner or emergency purchases.

“We have spent a great deal of time to understand what our customers want and how they like to shop, and the new format Checkers Foods neighbourhood store was designed with the customer at the forefront.
